Beyond Martingale Estimators: Structured Estimators for Maximizing Information Freshness in Query-Based Update Systems

Sahan Liyanaarachchi, Sennur Ulukus, Nail Akar

This paper investigates information freshness in a remote estimation system in which the remote information source is a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC). For such systems, estim…
