This paper investigates data correlation in remote sensing networks and how it can be characterized through diverse models quantifying the Value of Information (VoI), a metric that describes how informative the data transmitted by the sensors are. For each sensor, the VoI evaluations comprise the average node-specific Age of Information (AoI), the average cost spent for sending updates, and the AoI of neighbor nodes, assumed to be correlated sources of information and therefore benefiting the VoI of other sensors nearby. We discuss how this metric can be tracked through a two-dimensional Markov chain, but we also show how this representation can be simplified by including the impact of neighbor nodes within the transition probabilities, so as to obtain a simpler model that gives the same insight in terms of VoI evaluations.

Abstract

This paper investigates data correlation in remote sensing networks and how it can be characterized through diverse models quantifying the Value of Information (VoI), a metric that describes how informative the data transmitted by the sensors are. For each sensor, the VoI evaluations comprise the average node-specific Age of Information (AoI), the average cost spent for sending updates, and the AoI of neighbor nodes, assumed to be correlated sources of information and therefore benefiting the VoI of other sensors nearby. We discuss how this metric can be tracked through a two-dimensional Markov chain, but we also show how this representation can be simplified by including the impact of neighbor nodes within the transition probabilities, so as to obtain a simpler model that gives the same insight in terms of VoI evaluations.
