The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as one of the key features of the next-generation wireless networks, where timely delivery of status update packets is essential for many real-time IoT applications. Age of Information (AoI) is a new metric to measure the freshness of update. The reduction of the violation probability that AoI of status updates exceeds a given age constraint is of great significance for guaranteeing the information freshness in IoT systems. By modeling the IoT networks as M/M/1 and M/D/1 queuing systems, this work focuses on characterizing the violation probability of peak AoI and AoI in IoT systems, where a sensor delivers updates to a monitor under M/M/1 and M/D/1 queues with first-come–first-served policy. From a time-domain perspective, we explore the correlation between interdeparture time and system time, by which the closed-form expressions of peak AoI distribution and the violation probability for any AoI constraint are derived. The obtained results induce accurate characterizations for probability distribution functions of peak AoI and AoI. Consequently, accurate characterizations of average AoI and the variance of AoI are obtained. Then, for peak AoI and AoI, the optimal generation rate of the status update that induces the minimal violation probability is also found. The numerical results show that the optimal update rate can significantly reduce the AoI violation probability for a wide range of AoI constraints. The theoretical findings and predictions are verified by numerical simulation results as well as provide guidance for the design of IoT networks.
