Abstract:We apply a fluid-reservoir model to study the Age-of-Information (AoI) of update packets through energy-harvesting transmitters. The model is closer to how energy is stored and depleted in reality, and can reveal the system behavior for different settings of packet arrival rates, service rates, and energy charging and depletion rates. We present detailed results for both finite and infinite transmitter buffers and an infinite energy reservoir, and some indicative results for a finite reservoir. The results are… Show more
