When to Preempt? Age of Information Minimization under Link Capacity Constraint.

In this paper, we consider a scenario where a source continuously monitors an object and sends time-stamped status updates to a destination through a rate-limited link. We assume updates arrive randomly at the source according to a Bernoulli process. Due to the link capacity constraint, it takes multiple time slots for the source to complete the transmission of an update. Therefore, when a new upd...
