Abstract [en]
We study the average Age of Information (AoI) and peak AoI (PAoI) of a dual-queue status update system that monitors a common stochastic process through two independent channels. Although the double queue parallel transmission is instrumental in reducing AoI, the out of order of data arrivals also imposes a significant challenge to the performance analysis. We consider two settings: the M-M system where the service time of two servers is exponentially distributed; the M-D system in which the service time of one server is exponentially distributed and that of the other is deterministic. For the two dual-queue systems, closed-form expressions of average AoI and PAoI are derived by resorting to the graphic method and state flow graph analysis method. Our analysis reveals that when the two servers have the same service rate, compared with the single-queue system with an exponentially distributed service time, the average PAoI and the average AoI of the M-M system decrease by 33.3% and 37.5%, respectively, and those of the M-D system decrease by 27.7% and 39.7%, respectively. Numerical results show that the two dual-queue systems also outperform the M/M/2 single queue dual-server system with optimized arrival rate in terms of average AoI and PAoI.
