Christina Chaccour, Walid Saad

TL;DR
This paper investigates the age of information in AR over THz networks, introducing a risk of ruin concept to evaluate rare high PAoI events and analyzing system performance through derived distributions and simulations.
Contribution
It introduces the risk of ruin as a novel metric for PAoI reliability in THz AR networks and derives its distribution under different scheduling policies.
Findings
Increasing users improves PAoI performance.
Higher bandwidth reduces average PAoI but affects ruin severity.
Preemptive LCFS queues enhance ruin performance.
Abstract
Guaranteeing fresh and reliable information for augmented reality (AR) services is a key challenge to enable a real-time experience and sustain a high quality of physical experience (QoPE) for the users. In this paper, a terahertz (THz) cellular network is used to exchange rate-hungry AR content. For this network, guaranteeing an instantaneous low peak age of information (PAoI) is necessary to overcome the uncertainty stemming from the THz channel. In particular, a novel economic concept, namely, the risk of ruin is proposed to examine the probability of occurrence of rare, but extremely high PAoI that can jeopardize the operation of the AR service. To assess the severity of these hazards, the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the PAoI is derived for two different scheduling policies. This CDF is then used to find the probability of maximum severity of ruin PAoI. Furthermore, to…
