Abstract

AoI:Age of Information—measure the freshness of data in mission critical IoT。
AAoI:the average AoI.
Contribution: the system model to estimate AAoI in an URLLC system with DF relay scheme over quasi-static Rayleigh block fading channels.

• the closed-form expression for AAoI is obtained with the finite block length information theory, queuing theory and stochastic process.
• the impact of the parameters(update generation rate, block length,block length allocation factor) are investigated
• numerical results

创新：AAoI in DF relay-assisted system considering finite block lengt6h regime. closed-form expression of the vlock error probabnility is incorporated into derived closed-form expression of AAoI.
Results: by selecting a amall packet size when the update size is equal or less than 10 bits always help to maintain the URLLC with low AAoI

numerical simulation results

##simulation parameters

assumption : channel induced delay is negligible

##simulation result 1

result: a higher AAoI when the updates generation rate
is either lower or greater than the optimal value of 22 updates
per second.

reason:When the update generation rate is lower than the optimal
value, it increases time difference between the reception of two
consecutive updates causing an increase in AAoI. On the other
hand, if the update generation rate significantly larger than the
optimal value, it is impossible to stabilize the queue. Thus,
packets are waiting for a longer period of time in the queue
leading to a higher AAoI.

#simulation result 2

1.the AAoI increase with the increases in block length when the update size (k) is significantly small.
when the block length is increased, it causes increment in the service time for an update.
2.when the update size is larger than 10 bits, increase in block length towards its optimal value 20 channel uses decreases the AAoI due to the decease in error probability

##simulation result3

increase in block allocation factor decreases the block error probability at the R compared to the block error probability at D.
