Optimal linear estimators for systems with multiple random measurement delays and packet dropouts

This article is concerned with the optimal linear estimation problem for linear discrete-time stochastic systems with possible multiple random measurement delays and packet dropouts, where the largest random delay is limited within a known bound and packet dropouts can be infinite. A new model is constructed to describe the phenomena of multiple random delays and packet dropouts by employing some random variables of Bernoulli distribution. By state augmentation, the system with random delays and packet dropouts is transferred to a system with random parameters. Based on the new model, the least mean square optimal linear estimators including filter, predictor and smoother are easily obtained via an innovation analysis approach. The estimators are recursively computed in terms of the solutions of a Riccati difference equation and a Lyapunov difference equation. A sufficient condition for the existence of the steady-state estimators is given. An example shows the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.     

Optimal state estimation for networked systems with random parameter matrices,correlated noises and delayed measurements

In this paper, the optimal least-squares state estimation problem is addressed for a class of discrete-time multisensor linear stochastic systems with state transition and measurement random parameter matrices and correlated noises. It is assumed that at any sampling time, as a consequence of possible failures during the transmission process, one-step delays with different delay characteristics may occur randomly in the received measurements. The random delay phenomenon is modelled by using a different sequence of Bernoulli random variables in each sensor. The process noise and all the sensor measurement noises are one-step autocorrelated and different sensor noises are one-step cross-correlated. Also, the process noise and each sensor measurement noise are two-step cross-correlated. Based on the proposed model and using an innovation approach, the optimal linear filter is designed by a recursive algorithm which is very simple computationally and suitable for online applications. A numerical simulation is exploited to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed filtering algorithm.     

A new approach to distributed fusion filtering for networked systems with random parameter matrices and correlated noises

This paper is concerned with the distributed filtering problem for a class of discrete-time stochastic systems over a sensor network with a given topology. The system presents the following main features: (i) random parameter matrices in both the state and observation equations are considered; and (ii) the process and measurement noises are one-step autocorrelated and two-step cross-correlated. The state estimation is performed in two stages. At the first stage, through an innovation approach, intermediate distributed least-squares linear filtering estimators are obtained at each sensor node by processing available output measurements not only from the sensor itself but also from its neighboring sensors according to the network topology. At the second stage, noting that at each sampling time not only the measurement but also an intermediate estimator is available at each sensor, attention is focused on the design of distributed filtering estimators as the least-squares matrix-weighted linear combination of the intermediate estimators within its neighborhood. The accuracy of both intermediate and distributed estimators, which is measured by the error covariance matrices, is examined by a numerical simulation example where a four-sensor network is considered. The example illustrates the applicability of the proposed results to a linear networked system with state-dependent multiplicative noise and different network-induced stochastic uncertainties in the measurements; more specifically, sensor gain degradation, missing measurements and multiplicative observation noises are considered as particular cases of the proposed observation model.     

Optimal and suboptimal minimum-variance filtering in networked systems with mixed uncertainties of random sensor delays,packet dropouts and missing measurements

In this paper the Kalman filtering problem for networked stochastic linear discrete-time systems with random measurement delays, packet dropouts and missing measurements is studied. Based on a quasi Markov-chain approach, a unified/combined model is developed to accommodate random delay, packet dropout and missing measurement. Two approaches for constructing a filter via the linear matrix inequality approach are proposed. Simulation studies are then conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the constructed estimators.

Covariance-based fusion filtering for networked systems with random transmission delays and non-consecutive losses

The distributed and centralized fusion filtering problems for multi-sensor networked systems with transmission random one-step delays and non-consecutive packet losses are addressed. The signal evolution model is not required, as only covariance information is used. The measurements of individual sensors, subject to uncertainties modeled by random matrices and correlated noises, are transmitted to local processors through different communication channels and, due to random transmission failures, some of the data packets may be delayed or even definitely lost. The random transmission delays and non-consecutive packet losses are modeled by sequences of Bernoulli variables with different probabilities. By an innovation approach, local least squares linear filtering estimators are obtained by recursive algorithms; the distributed fusion framework is then used to obtain the optimal matrix-weighted combination of the local filters, using the mean squared error as optimality criterion. Also, a recursive least squares linear estimation algorithm is designed within the centralized fusion framework.

Optimal linear filter design for systems with correlation in the measurement matrices and noises: recursive algorithm and applications

This paper addresses the optimal least-squares linear estimation problem for a class of discrete-time stochastic systems with random parameter matrices and correlated additive noises. The system presents the following main features: (1) one-step correlated and cross-correlated random parameter matrices in the observation equation are assumed; (2) the process and measurement noises are one-step autocorrelated and two-step cross-correlated. Using an innovation approach and these correlation assumptions, a recursive algorithm with a simple computational procedure is derived for the optimal linear filter. As a significant application of the proposed results, the optimal recursive filtering problem in multi-sensor systems with missing measurements and random delays can be addressed. Numerical simulation examples are used to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed filtering algorithm, which is also compared with other filters that have been proposed.

Gaussian approximate filter for stochastic dynamic systems with randomly delayed measurements and colored measurement noises带随机延迟量测和有色量测噪声随机动态系统的高斯近似滤波器

In this paper, a new Gaussian approximate (GA) filter for stochastic dynamic systems with both one-step randomly delayed measurements and colored measurement noises is presented. For linear systems, a Kalman filter can be obtained to include one-step randomly delayed measurements and colored measurement noises. On the other hand, for nonlinear stochastic dynamic systems, different GA filters can be developed which exploit numerical methods to compute Gaussian weighted integrals involved in the proposed Bayesian solution. Existing GA filter with one-step randomly delayed measurements and existing GA filter with colored measurement noises are special cases of the proposed GA filter. The efficiency and superiority of the proposed method are illustrated in a numerical example concerning a target tracking problem.

Centralized filtering and smoothing algorithms from outputs with random parameter matrices transmitted through uncertain communication channels

The least-squares linear centralized estimation problem is addressed for discrete-time signals from measured outputs whose disturbances are modeled by random parameter matrices and correlated noises. These measurements, coming from different sensors, are sent to a processing center to obtain the estimators and, due to random transmission failures, some of the data packet processed for the estimation may either contain only noise (uncertain observations), be delayed (sensor delays) or even be definitely lost (packet dropouts). Different sequences of Bernoulli random variables with known probabilities are employed to describe the multiple random transmission uncertainties of the different sensors. Using the last observation that successfully arrived when a packet is lost, the optimal linear centralized fusion estimators, including filter, multi-step predictors and fixed-point smoothers, are obtained via an innovation approach; this approach is a general and useful tool to find easily implementable recursive algorithms for the optimal linear estimators under the least-squares optimality criterion. The proposed algorithms are obtained without requiring the evolution model of the signal process, but using only the first and second-order moments of the processes involved in the measurement model.

Robust fusion time‐varying Kalman estimators for multisensor networked systems with mixed uncertainties

This paper addresses the problem of designing robust fusion time‐varying Kalman estimators for a class of multisensor networked systems with mixed uncertainties including multiplicative noises, missing measurements, packet dropouts, and uncertain‐variance linearly correlated measurement and process white noises. By the augmented approach, the original system is converted into a stochastic parameter system with uncertain noise variances. Furthermore, applying the fictitious noise approach, the original system is converted into one with constant parameters and uncertain noise variances. According to the minimax robust estimation principle, based on the worst‐case system with the conservative upper bounds of the noise variances, the five robust fusion time‐varying Kalman estimators (predictor, filter, and smoother) are presented by using a unified design approach that the robust filter and smoother are designed based on the robust Kalman predictor, which include three robust weighted state fusion estimators with matrix weights, diagonal matrix weights, and scalar weights, a modified robust covariance intersection fusion estimator, and robust centralized fusion estimator. Their robustness is proved by using a combination method, which consists of Lyapunov equation approach, augmented noise approach, and decomposition approach of nonnegative definite matrix, such that their actual estimation error variances are guaranteed to have the corresponding minimal upper bounds for all admissible uncertainties. The accuracy relations among the robust local and fused time‐varying Kalman estimators are proved. A simulation example is shown with application to the continuous stirred tank reactor system to show the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed results.     

Linear state estimation for Markov jump linear system with multi-channel observation delays and packet dropouts

This paper is to investigate the linear minimum mean square error estimation for Markovian jump linear system subject to unknown Markov chains, multi-channel mode and observation delays, and packet losses. The reorganisation method is employed to convert the delayed measurement system into an equivalent delay-free one and a new state variable is introduced, by which the original state estimation with transmission delays and data losses is transformed into the new state estimation for the reorganised delay-free system with jumping parameters and multiplicative noises. The new state estimation is derived via the innovation analysis method, and an analytical solution to the estimator is given in terms of a set of generalised Riccati difference equations based on a set of coupled Lyapunov equations. Then the original state estimation will be obtained via the jumping property. Finally, we show that the difference Riccati equations converge to a set of generalised algebraic Riccati equations under appropriate assumptions, which result in an optimal stationary filter.
