Stochastic Peak Age of Information Guarantee for Cooperative Sensing in Internet of Everything

Abstract

This paper focuses on the service freshness guarantee for cooperative sensing in the Internet of Everything. Specifically, the peak age of information (AoI) is first introduced to evaluate the information and service freshness. An analytical model is then constructed to decouple the components of peak AoI into the inter-arrival time and transmission time. With the knowledge of identical increments of update arrival and transmission process, a close bound of peak AoI violation probability is derived based on martingale theory. Furthermore, the impact of source node parameter configuration on the peak AoI violation probability are analyzed and a task allocation scheme is proposed to guide cooperative sensing. Numerical analysis validates the tightness of the peak AoI violation probability bound and the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in service freshness guarantee.
