Adaptive Status Arrivals Policy (ASAP) Delivering Fresh Information (Minimise Peak Age) in Real World Scenarios

Research Output

Real-time systems make their decisions based on information communicated from sensors. Consequently, delivering information in a timely manner is critical to such systems. In this paper, a policy for delivering fresh information (or minimising the Peak Age of the information) is proposed. The proposed policy, i.e., the Adaptive Status Arrivals Policy (ASAP), adaptively controls the timing between updates to enhance the Peak Age (PA) performance of real-time systems. Firstly, an optimal value for the inter-arrival rate is derived. Afterwards, we implemented the policy in three scenarios and measured the ASAP PA performance. The experiments showed that ASAP is able to approach the theoretical optimal PA performance. Moreover, it can deliver fresh information in scenarios where the server is located in the cloud.
