Age of Information (AoI) is an important concept in communications, but its definition assumes that new information is always used, which may not be the case. In this study, we optimize the Age of Information at Query (QAoI) in a pull-based communication model to better suit resource-constrained scenarios, and our results show that QAoI-aware optimization can significantly reduce the average and worst-case perceived age.
Age of Information (AoI) has become an important concept in communications, as it allows system designers to measure the freshness of the information available to remote monitoring or control processes. However, its definition tacitly assumes that new information is used at any time, which is not always the case: the instants at which information is collected and used may be dependent on a certain query process, and resource-constrained environments such as most Internet of Things (IoT) use cases require precise timing to fully exploit the limited available transmissions. In this work, we consider a pull-based communication model in which the freshness of information is only important when the receiver generates a query: if the monitoring process is not using the value, the age of the last update is irrelevant. We optimize the Age of Information at Query (QAoI), a metric that samples the AoI at relevant instants, better fitting the pull-based resource-constrained scenario, and show how this can lead to very different choices. Our results show that QAoI-aware optimization can significantly reduce the average and worst-case perceived age for both periodic and stochastic queries.
