| contents | In this chapter, we investigate the value of information as a more comprehensive instrument than the age of information for optimally shaping the information flow in a networked control system. In particular, we quantify the value of information based on the variation in a value function, and discuss the structural properties of this metric. Through our analysis, we establish the mathematical relation between the value of information and the age of information. We prove that the value of information is in general a function of an estimation discrepancy that depends on the age of information and the primitive variables. In addition, we prove that there exists a condition under which the value of information becomes completely expressible in terms of the age of information. Nonetheless, we show that this condition is not achievable without a degradation in the performance of the system. |
