On the Age of Status Updates in Unreliable Multi-Source M/G/1 Queueing Systems (2208.01619v2)
Published 2 Aug 2022 in cs.NI and cs.PF
Abstract: The timeliness of status message delivery in communications networks is subjective to time-varying wireless channel transmissions. In this paper, we investigate the age of information (AoI) of each source in a multi-source M/G/1 queueing update system with active server failures. In particular, we adopt the method of supplementary variables to derive a closed-form expression for the average AoI in terms of system parameters, where the server repair time follows a general distribution and the service time of packets generated by independent sources is a general random variable. Numerical results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed packet serving policy under different parametric settings.
