We consider a source node deployed in a real-time monitoring application that needs to sample a stochastic process and convey its state timely and accurately to a destination over a wireless ON/OFF channel. The source can either process a raw sample to determine its current state and transmit that information or transmit the raw sample and let the destination determine the state. The source is subjected to an average cost constraint, and it cannot sample, process, and transmit at all the time instants due to the associated costs. When the destination does not receive information, it uses the previous information as an estimate of the current state, which, if it matches the actual state at the source, the distortion is considered to be zero. The objective is to minimize average expected distortion subject to constraints on the average expected age of information (AoI) of states of interest and costs incurred by the source, where the AoI of a state increases if no status update is received, else drops to unity. We derive a stationary randomized policy (SRP) to solve the formulated problem, for which we obtain the expression for the expected AoI under the SRP using a lumpability argument on the two-dimensional discrete-time Markov chain formed using AoI and instantaneous distortion as states. We extensively study the impact of the system parameters on the average distortion under the SRP and draw significant conclusions.

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) is an emerging technology capable of manipulating the propagation environment, expected to play a vital role in all future wireless communication networks. This paper addresses the important and challenging channel estimation (CE) problem of a fully passive RIS-assisted communication system. We combine RIS array elements and Base Station (BS) antenna elements, forming a virtual multi-dimensional array referred to as the RIS-BS virtual array. Leveraging this array, we propose two algorithms: RIBCE-Compressive Sensing (CS) and RIBCE-Estimation of Signal Parameters via Rotational Invariance Techniques (ESPRIT), to jointly estimate the angle of arrival (AoA) and angle of departure (AoD). The corresponding channel gains are then computed using the estimated AoA and AoD. A lower bound on the pilot overhead is also provided with these proposed algorithms which shows a significant reduction in the pilot requirement compared to state-of-art (SoA) approach. Simulation results are also provided which corroborates the theory and shows a significant performance improvement over the state-of-art approach.
