Quantized filtering for Markovian jump LPV systems with intermittent measurements

This paper investigates the problem of quantized filtering for a class of discrete‐time linear parameter‐varying systems with Markovian switching under data missing. The measured output of the plant is quantized by a logarithmic mode‐independent quantizer. The data missing phenomenon is modeled by a stochastic variable. The purpose of the problem addressed is to design a full‐order filter such that the filtering error dynamics is stochastically stable and the prescribed noise attenuation level in the sense can be achieved. Sufficient conditions are derived for the existence of such filters in terms of parameterized linear matrix inequalities. Then the corresponding filter synthesis problem is transformed into a convex optimization problem that can be efficiently solved by using standard software packages. A simulation example is utilized to demonstrate the usefulness of the developed theoretical results. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
