Age of Information Under DCC Rate Constraints for V2I Broadcast Along Urban Corridors

Yousef AlSaqabi

ETSI Decentralized Congestion Control (DCC) limits roadside unit (RSU) broadcast rates based on channel load, yet its impact on age of information (AoI) for vehicle-to-infrastructure updates remains uncharacterized under real traffic. We derive the AoI of DCC-constrained V2I broadcast, revealing a hyperbolic density dependence that induces diurnal AoI variation exceeding 4 times on a four-RSU corridor, with the DCC target CBR parameter as the dominant control. We propose a cooperative policy exploiting upstream spatial traffic correlation to improve channel load estimation, with a safeguard ensuring non-negative gains. Evaluated on a 5-day, 762,050-vehicle trace from Kuwait City, the policy reduces corridor AoI by 5% at moderate and up to 66% at conservative DCC settings.

When and Which Sensor to Observe? Timely Tracking of a Joint Markov Source

Ismail Cosandal, Sennur Ulukus, Nail Akar

We investigate the problem of remote estimation (at a monitor) of a discrete-time joint Markov process with individual components which can be observed with dedicated sensors. At a given time slot, the monitor has the option of staying idle or sending a pull request to one of the…

Dual-Regime Absorbing Markov Chain Theory in Remote Estimation: Age-Minimizing Push Policies

Ismail Cosandal, Sennur Ulukus, Nail Akar

For a remote estimation system, we study the optimization of age of incorrect information (AoII), which is a recently proposed semantic-aware information freshness metric. In particular, we assume an information source that observes a discrete-time finite-state Markov chain (DTMC…

Squeezing the Most Out of Preemption for AoI Minimization: Single-source Case

Nail Akar, Mohammad Moltafet, Sennur Ulukus, Marian Codreanu, Roy D. Yates

In this work, we study a single-source single-server continuous-time status update system where the updates arrive according to a Poisson process and update service times are generally distributed. In our proposed setting, a preemption policy refers to one where a new update pree…

Semantic Leakage and Privacy Preservation in Relay-Assisted Semantic Communications

Yalin E. Sagduyu, Tugba Erpek, Aylin Yener, Sennur Ulukus

Semantic communication (SemCom) has emerged as a promising paradigm in which the transmission of task-relevant information is prioritized over raw data, enabling efficient and robust communication under resource and channel constraints. In this paper, the privacy implications of…
