Distributed set-membership estimation for state-saturated systems with mixed time-delays via a dynamic event-triggered scheme

Abstract

This paper is focused on the distributed estimation issue in the form of set-membership (SM) for a class of discrete time-varying systems suffering mix-time-delays and state-saturations. The phenomena of time-delays and state-saturations are introduced to better describe insightful engineering. During local measurements transmission between sensors over a resource-limited sensor network, to prevent data collisions and resource-consumption, a newly dynamic event-triggering strategy (DETS) is designed to dispatch the local measurements transmission for each sensor to its neighbors. Compared with the most existing static ETSs, this DETs can mitigate the total number of triggering times and enlarge interval time between consecutive triggering instants. Then, some novel adequate criteria for designing the desired event-based SM estimators are derived such that the plant’s true state always resides in each sensor’s ellipsoidal region regardless of the simultaneous presence of bounded noises, mixed time delays and state-saturations. Subsequently, a recursive optimization algorithm is formulated such that the minimal ellipsoids, the estimators gains and event-triggering weighted matrices are acquired simultaneously. A verification simulation is presented to illustrate the advantages of the design approach of the developed state estimator.
