Discrete Networked Dynamic Systems

Chapter 8: State estimation techniques

Abstract

In this chapter, we examine the distributed ${\mathbb{H}}_{\infty }$ filtering problem for a class of nonlinear systems with randomly occurring sensor saturation (ROSS) and successive packet dropouts over sensor networks. The issue of ROSS is brought up to account for the random nature of sensor saturation in a networked environment of sensors and, accordingly, a novel sensor model is proposed to describe both the ROSS and successive packet dropouts within a unified framework. Two sets of Bernoulli-distributed white sequences are introduced to govern the random occurrences of the sensor saturation and successive packet dropouts. ...
