Almost surely state estimation for multi-rate networked systems under random and malicious packet losses

Abstract

This paper investigates the problem of a multi-rate networked system estimation with considering random and malicious packet losses. Three different rates are used: system sampling rate, measurement updating rate and estimation updating rate. Thus, the network energy can be saved. Since the plant and filtering are connected via network channel, the data packet losses unavoidably happen. In order to study the combination of the random and malicious packet losses, the probabilistic characterization for the link failures is applied, which leads to a stochastic estimation error system. The almost surely exponentially stability criteria is applied to guarantee this stochastic system stable. Finally, a cloud-aided vehicle suspension system is applied to verify the theoretical finding.
