This study introduces an event-triggered state estimation method for nonlinear systems, balancing performance and data transmission by minimizing redundant communication. The approach ensures stability despite packet dropout and correlated noise.
Area of Science:
- Control Systems Engineering
- Signal Processing
- Nonlinear System Analysis
Background:
- State estimation in nonlinear systems is challenged by packet dropout and correlated noise.
- Event-triggered communication strategies aim to reduce data transmission load.
- Reliable state estimation requires robust filtering under network uncertainties.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an event-triggered state estimation framework for nonlinear systems with packet dropout.
- To integrate noise decorrelation and unreliable network transmission into the estimator design.
- To analyze the trade-off between estimation performance and communication rate.
Main Methods:
- An event-triggered communication mechanism based on condition violation.
- Noise decorrelation techniques applied prior to filter design.
- Integration of the event-triggered mechanism and network transmission for state estimation.
- Utilizing the three-degree spherical-radial cubature rule for numerical implementation.
Main Results:
- Adjusting the event-triggered threshold balances estimation performance and transmission rate.
- The covariance matrix of the state estimation error remains bounded with a lower bound on packet dropout rate.
- Stochastic stability of the state estimation error is confirmed.
Conclusions:
- The proposed event-triggered state estimation algorithm is effective for nonlinear systems.
- The method provides a balance between estimation accuracy and communication efficiency.
- Validation through a target tracking system simulation confirms the algorithm's efficacy.
