[July 2023] Our paper
"A Whittle Index Policy for the Remote Estimation of Multiple Continuous Gauss-Markov Processes over Parallel Channels" has been accepted by the ACM MobiHoc 2023 Conference.
To the best of our knowledge, this paper makes the following contributions to the areas of remote estimation and Age of Information (AoI) minimization:
a. We study optimal sampling and transmission scheduling for the remote estimation of multiple continuous Gauss-Markov processes over parallel channels with i.i.d. random transmission times.
This problem is a continuous-time Restless Multi-armed Bandit (RMAB) problem with a continuous state space, for which it is typically quite challenging to show indexability or to evaluate the
Whittle index efficiently. We are able to prove indexability and derive an exact expression for the Whittle index. These results generalize prior studies on the remote estimation of a single
Gauss-Markov process to the multi-source, multi-channel case.
b. We further investigate signal-agnostic remote estimation. In this context, the optimal sampling and scheduling problem becomes a multi-source AoI minimization problem over parallel channels
with i.i.d. random transmission times. We establish the indexability property and derive a precise expression of the Whittle index. Technically, these results carry forth and expand upon prior
findings on Whittle index based AoI minimization in the following manner: In prior studies, the transmission time of each packet remains constant, resulting in the optimality of the zero-wait
sampling policy. Consequently, the Whittle index derived in that case consistently maintains a non-negative value. In contrast, our results take into account scenarios involving i.i.d. random
transmission times. In such instances, the optimality of the zero-wait sampling policy is not guaranteed, leading to the possibility of both positive and negative values for the Whittle index.
b. Moreover, our results unite two theoretical frameworks for remote estimation and AoI minimization: threshold-based sampling and Whittle index-based scheduling. In the single-source,
single-channel scenario, we demonstrate that the optimal solution to the sampling and scheduling problem can be equivalently expressed as both a threshold-based sampling strategy and a Whittle
index-based scheduling policy. Notably, the Whittle index is equal to zero if and only if two conditions are satisfied: (i) the channel is idle, and (ii) the estimation error is precisely equal to
the threshold in the threshold-based sampling strategy. Moreover, the methodology employed to derive threshold-based sampling strategies in the single-source, single-channel scenario plays a crucial
ole in establishing indexability and evaluating the Whittle index in the more intricate multi-source, multi-channel scenario.

[July. 2022] Our paper "How Does Data Freshness Affect
Real-time Supervised Learning?" has been accepted by the ACM MobiHoc 2022 Conference.
Paper Summary: We first study how data freshness affects the performance of real-time supervised learning. Theoretical and experimental studies show that
the inference error of real-time supervised learning is a function of the Age of Information (AoI),
where the function could be monotonic (as in the video prediction experiment below)
or non-monotonic (as in the other four experiments). Then, we developed a communication system to improve learning performance.
A new "selection-from-buffer" MAC-layer model is designed for timely data updating, which is more general than the "generate-at-will" model used in earlier studies.
Insightful low-complexity scheduling algorithms are developed to minimize general AoI functions and the inference error.
These results lay out a potential path toward contextual and goal-oriented status updating.
