Age of Information of SIC-Aided Massive IoT Networks With Random Access

Age of Information (AoI) has turned to be an outright metric to evaluate information freshness in Internet of Things (IoT) networks. In this work, we evaluate the average AoI of an uplink IoT monitoring network where multiple end devices have independent status updates to transmit to a common access point (AP). More specifically, we propose the so-called successive interference cancellation (SIC)-...
