Mobile edge computing (MEC) has been recognized as a promising technique to provide enhanced computation services for low-power wireless devices at the network edge. How to evaluate the timeliness of the task and data delivery is critical for the development of MEC applications. Considering a wireless powered MEC system, in this letter we study the average age of information (AoI), which is a crucial performance metric to measure the freshness of information. Specifically, in the considered system, a sensor node harvests energy from an energy transmitter and transmits computation tasks to the MEC server. The charging time of the sensor node’s capacitor, the waiting time and service time at the MEC server are taken into account when calculating the average AoI. The closed-form expression of the average AoI is obtained accordingly and evaluated through numerical simulations.
