Title
Event-triggered optimal and suboptimal distributed Kalman consensus filters for sensor networks
Abstract
This paper studies the distributed Kalman consensus filtering problem based on the event-triggered (ET) protocol for linear discrete time-varying systems with multiple sensors. The ET strategy of the send-on-delta rule is employed to adjust the communication rate during data transmission. Two series of Bernoulli random variables are introduced to represent the ET schedules between a sensor and an estimator, and between an estimator and its neighbor estimators. An optimal distributed filter with a given recursive structure in the linear unbiased minimum variance criterion is derived, where solution of cross-covariance matrix (CCM) between any two estimators increases the complexity of the algorithm. In order to avert CCM, a suboptimal ET Kalman consensus filter is also presented, where the filter gain and the consensus gain are solved by minimizing an upper bound of filtering error covariance. Boundedness of the proposed suboptimal filter is analyzed based on a Lyapunov function. A numerical simulation verifies the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
