Finite-horizon quantized [formula omitted] filter design for a class of time-varying systems under event-triggered transmissions

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the finite-horizon quantized H∞ filter design problem for a class of time-varying systems with quantization effects and event-triggered measurement transmissions. A componentwise event-triggered transmission strategy is put forward to reduce the unnecessary communication burden for the purpose of energy efficiency. The transmitted measurements triggered according to prespecified events are quantized by a logarithmic quantizer. Special attention is paid to the design of the filter such that a prescribed H∞ performance can be guaranteed over a given finite horizon in the presence of nonlinearities, quantization effects and event-triggered transmissions. Two sets of Riccati difference equations are introduced to ensure the H∞ estimation performance of the designed filter. The filter design algorithm is recursive and thus suitable for online computation. A simulation example is illustrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm applied to the fault detection problem.
