“…In particular, sensor nodes capturing velocity, acceleration, parking radars measurements etc., disseminate this timecritical content to interconnected vehicles across the network to improve road safety and transportation efficiency [4]. Maintaining data freshness is a requirement in numerous other applications like wireless sensor networks (WSN) for healthcare and environmental monitoring [5,6], active data warehousing [7], content caching [8,9,10,11], realtime databases [12], ad hoc networks [13,14], wireless smart camera networks [15,16], unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted IoT networks [17,18], broadcast wireless networks [19,20,21], and the efficient design of freshness-aware IoT [22].…”
