title = "Lazy is timely: Status updates by an energy harvesting source",
abstract = "A source submits status updates to a service facility for delivery to a monitor. Each update requires energy and the source is powered by a stochastic energy harvesting system. With knowledge of the service facility state, the source avoids queue-induced delays by submitting a fresh update only after the service completion of a prior update. For a source with a large battery, we evaluate updating policies using a status age timeliness metric. We show that an optimal policy is lazy; following a service completion, the service facility is frequently left idle even though the server may have sufficient energy to submit an update.",
