Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been anticipated to offer diverse real-time applications, wherein the crux is to guarantee the age of information (AoI) for dynamic traffic. However, the traffic temporal variation provokes the interdependence between queue status and interference, in which context the AoI performance remains to be further explored. In this paper, an analytical framework is established to characterize the AoI performance in NOMA-IoT networks with random Bernoulli and deterministic periodic arrivals. Particularly, a numerical algorithm is devised to obtain the queue service rate, and tractable expressions for AoI violation probability and average AoI under both the first-come first-served (FCFS) and the preemptive last-come first-served (LCFS-PR) service disciplines are derived. Simulations are conducted to validate the proposed analysis. The results unveil that LCFS-PR conduces to better AoI performance than FCFS, and yet the gain diverges for each device with different traffic arrival configurations. In addition, the result shows that with sporadic traffic arrival, the periodic pattern outperforms the Bernoulli pattern, whereas this advantage gradually diminishes with more frequent packet arrival.
