“…Related work: Recently, the information freshness has been studied from the sampling and/or scheduling optimization perspectives by using the AoI metric in, e.g., [6]- [15], and using the query/request-based AoI metric in, e.g., [4], [16]- [18]. Assuming the generate-at-will model, the sampling times in [4], [6]- [8], [10], [11], [13]- [15], [18], and the sampling rate in [7] were optimized. The work [11] considered a limit on the sampling frequency.…”
