Abstract

The age of information (AoI) performance metric for point-to-point wireless communication systems is analytically studied under Rician-faded channels and when the receiver is equipped with multiple antennas. The general scenario of a non-linear AoI function is considered, which includes the conventional linear AoI as a special case. The stop-and-wait transmission policy is adopted, where the source node samples and then transmits new data only upon the successful reception of previous data. This approach can serve as a performance benchmark for any queuing system used in practice. New analytical and closed-form expressions are derived with respect to the average AoI and average peak AoI for the considered system configuration. We particularly focus on the energy efficiency of the said mode of operation, whereas some useful engineering insights are provided.
