Abstract
This paper studies the asynchronous state fusion estimation problem for multi-sensor networked systems subject to stochastic data packet dropouts. A set of Bernoulli sequences are adopted to describe the random packet losses with different arriving probabilities for different sensor communication channels. The asynchronous sensors considered in this paper can have arbitrary sampling rates and arbitrary initial sampling instants, and may even sample the system non-uniformly. Asynchronous measurements collected within the fusion interval are transformed to the fusion time instant as a combined equivalent measurement. An optimal asynchronous estimation fusion algorithm is then derived based on the transformed equivalent measurement using the recursive form of linear minimum mean squared error (LMMSE) estimator. Cross-correlations between involved random variables are carefully calculated with the stochastic data packet dropouts taken into account. A numerical target tracking example is provided to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
