Stability of Kalman Filtering with Multiple Sensors Involving Lossy Communications
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a networked state estimation problem for a linear system with multiple sensors, each of which transmits its measurements to a central estimator via a lossy communication network for computing the minimum mean-square-error (MMSE) state estimate. Under a general Markov packet loss process, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability of the estimator for any diagonalizable system in the sense that the mean of the state estimation error covariance matrix is uniformly bounded. For the second-order systems under an i.i.d. packet loss model, the stability condition is expressed as a simple inequality in terms of open-loop poles and the packet loss rate.

Stability Analysis of Multi-Sensor Kalman Filtering over Lossy Networks
This paper studies the remote Kalman filtering problem for a distributed system setting with multiple sensors that are located at different physical locations. Each sensor encapsulates its own measurement data into one single packet and transmits the packet to the remote filter via a lossy distinct channel. For each communication channel, a time-homogeneous Markov chain is used to model the nor...
متن کاملKalman Filtering over Lossy Networks under Switching Sensors
In this paper, we study the mean square stability of Kalman filtering of a discrete-time stochastic system under two periodically switching sensors. The sensor measurements are sent to a remote estimator over a lossy channel whose packet loss process is independent and identically distributed. We prove that the problem can be converted into the stability analysis of Kalman filtering using two s...

متن کاملKalman Filtering in Correlated Losses
In this project we consider the problem of estimating the state of an unstable system in presence of correlated losses using a Kalman Filter . This scenario arises in performing vehicle tracking or navigation over a wireless channel. Since wireless channels are inherently lossy in nature, it is possible for the Kalman estimator to lose some observations. We study the behavior of Kalman filter i...
متن کاملGPS/INS Integration for Vehicle Navigation based on INS Error Analysis in Kalman Filtering
The Global Positioning System (GPS) and an Inertial Navigation System (INS) are two basic navigation systems. Due to their complementary characters in many aspects, a GPS/INS integrated navigation system has been a hot research topic in the recent decade. The Micro Electrical Mechanical Sensors (MEMS) successfully solved the problems of price, size and weight with the traditional INS. Therefore...
