Variance-constrained state estimation for networked multi-rate systems with measurement quantization and probabilistic sensor failures

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the variance-constrained state estimation problem for a class of networked multi-rate systems (NMSs) with network-induced probabilistic sensor failures and measurement quantization. The stochastic characteristics of the sensor failures are governed by mutually independent random variables over the interval [0,1]. By applying the lifting technique, an augmented system model is established to facilitate the state estimation of the underlying NMSs. With the aid of the stochastic analysis approach, sufficient conditions are derived under which the exponential mean-square stability of the augmented system is guaranteed, the prescribed H ∞ performance constraint is achieved and the individual variance constraint on the steady-state estimation error is satisfied. Based on the derived conditions, the addressed variance-constrained state estimation problem of NMSs is recast as a convex optimization one that can be solved via the semi-definite program method. Furthermore, the explicit expression of the desired estimator gains is obtained by means of the feasibility of certain matrix inequalities. Two additional optimization problems are considered with respect to the H ∞ performance index and the weighted error variances. Finally, a simulation example is utilized to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed state estimation method.

Zonotopic fault detection observer for linear parameter‐varying descriptor systems

“…Faults may result in system performance deterioration and even lead to an unacceptable economic loss or personal injury. To enhance the systems reliability, model‐based fault diagnosis technology has received much attention in recent decades . In practice, the performance of model‐based fault diagnosis may be affected by uncertainties such as modeling errors, unknown input disturbance, and measurement noise.…”

“…sensors, filter, and controller) are connected through a shared network transmission channel. In comparison to the traditional point-to-point connection systems, the introduction of the transmission network inevitably brings a lot of network-induced phenomena, such as packet dropouts (Dong, Lam, & Gao, 2011;Sun, Xie, Xiao, & Soh, 2008;Wen, Wang, Hu, Liu, & Alsaadi, 2018), signal quantization (Chen, Wang, Qian, & Alsaadi, 2018;Dong, Wang, Ding, & Gao, 2015b;Gao & Chen, 2007;Geng, Wang, Liang, Cheng, & Alsaadi, 2017b;Tian, Yue, & Peng, 2008;Zhang, Ma, & Liu, 2016;Zhang, Wang, & Ma, 2016), communication delay Zhu et al, 2008), fading channels (Ding, Wang, Shen, & Dong, 2015a;Dong, Wang, Ding, & Gao, 2015a;Geng, Wang, Liang, Cheng, & Alsaadi, 2017a;Zhang et al, 2018;Zhang, Wang, Zou, & Fang, 2017;Zhang, Wang, Zou, & Liu, 2016), to name but a few. These network-induced phenomena lead to additional difficulties in analysis/synthesis problems and therefore have attracted considerable research interest.…”

Modified particle filter and Gaussian filter with packet dropouts

“…Networked control systems (NCSs) have received much attention in recent years because of their easy installation, low maintenance costs, and flexible control structures. However, there are some troubles induced by networks inevitably, such as random delays, packet dropouts, and quantization errors . These network‐induced uncertainties degrade the performance of NCSs and even destabilize the system by filtering problems .…”
