6% Computes the Age of Information metrics
for an M/GI/1 queue with
7% preemptive Last-Come First-Served (LCFS-PR) discipline.
9% In LCFS-PR, when a
new update arrives, it preempts the current update
10% in service (
if any). This ensures the freshest update
is always served.
13% lambda (
double): Arrival rate (Poisson arrivals)
14% H_lst (function_handle): LST of service time, @(s) -> complex
15% E_H (double): Mean service time (first moment)
16% E_H2 (double): Second moment of service time (for reference)
19% meanAoI (double): Mean (average) Age of Information
20% lstAoI (function_handle): LST of AoI distribution
21% peakAoI (double): Mean Peak Age of Information
23% Formulas (from Inoue et al., IEEE Trans. IT, 2019, Section IV):
24% For preemptive LCFS, the AoI simplifies significantly:
25% E[A] = E[Y] + E[H] = 1/lambda + E[H]
26% E[Apeak] = E[Y] + E[H]
28% LST of AoI: A*(s) = (lambda/(s+lambda)) * H*(s)
29% This
is the convolution of exponential interarrival and service time.
