    This paper is concerned with the H∞ filtering for a class of networked Markovian jump systems with multiple communication delays. Due to the existence of communication constraints, the measurement signal cannot arrive at the filter completely on time, and the stochastic communication delays are considered in the filter design. Firstly, a set of stochastic variables is introduced to model the occurrence probabilities of the delays. Then based on the stochastic system approach, a sufficient condition is obtained such that the filtering error system is stable in the mean-square sense and with a prescribed H∞ disturbance attenuation level. The optimal filter gain parameters can be determined by solving a convex optimization problem. Finally, a simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed filter design method

    Ternary and Hybrid Event-based Particle Filtering for Distributed State Estimation in Cyber-Physical Systems

    The thesis is motivated by recent advancements and developments in large, distributed, autonomous, and self-aware Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), which are emerging engineering systems with integrated processing, control, and communication capabilities. Efficient usage of available resources (communication,computation, bandwidth, and energy) is a pre-requisite for productive operation of CPSs, where security, privacy, and/or power considerations limit the number of information transfers between neighbouring sensors. In this regard, the focus of the thesis is on information acquisition, state estimation, and learning in the context of CPSs by adopting an Event-based Estimation (EBE) strategy, where information transfer is performed only in the occurrence of specific events identified via the localized triggering mechanisms. In particular, the thesis aims to address the following identified drawbacks of the existing EBE methodologies: (i) At one hand, while EBE using Gaussian-based approximations of the event-triggered posterior has been fairly investigated, application of non-linear, non-Gaussian filtering using particle filters is still in its infancy, and; (ii) On the other hand, the common assumption in the existing EBE strategies is having a binary (idle and event) decision process where during idle epochs, the sensor holds on to its local measurements while during the event epochs measurement communication happens. Although the binary event-based transfer of measurements potentially reduces the communication overhead, still communicating raw measurements during all the event instances could be very costly. To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing EBE methodologies, first, an intuitively pleasing event-based particle filtering (EBPF) framework is proposed for centralized, hierarchical, and distributed (iii)state estimation architectures. Furthermore, a novel ternary event-triggering framework, referred to as the TEB-PF, is proposed by introducing the ternary event-triggering (TET) mechanism coupled with a non-Gaussian fusion strategy that jointly incorporates hybrid measurements within the particle filtering framework. Instead of using binary decision criteria, the proposed TET mechanism uses three local decision cases resulting in set-valued, quantized, and point-valued measurements. Due to a joint utilization of quantized and set-valued measurements in addition to the point-valued ones, the proposed TEB-PF simultaneously reduces the communication overhead, in comparison to its binary triggering counterparts, while also improves the estimation accuracy especially in low communication rates

    Deterministic Sensor Data Scheduling under Limited Communication Resource

    We consider finite time-horizon sensor data scheduling under limited communication resource. A sensor can only send d of its measurement data to a remote estimator within a time-horizon T ≫ d. When use the terminal estimation error covariance of the estimator as a performance metric, we provide an explicit form of the optimal data schedule; when use the average estimation error covariance as a performance metric, we provide a necessary condition for a schedule to be optimal for a general T. When T has a special form, the necessary condition allows us to construct an explicit optimal data schedule. © 2011 IEEE
