This paper considers finite-time distributed state estimation for discrete-time nonlinear systems over sensor networks. The Round-Robin protocol is introduced to overcome the channel capacity constraint among sensor nodes, and the multiplicative noise is employed to model the channel fading. In order to improve the performance of the estimator under the situation, where the transmission resources are limited, fading channels with different stochastic properties are used in each round by allocating the resources. Sufficient conditions of the average stochastic finite-time boundedness and the average stochastic finite-time stability for the estimation error system are derived on the basis of the periodic system analysis method and Lyapunov approach, respectively. According to the linear matrix inequality approach, the estimator gains are designed. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed results are illustrated by a numerical example.

This paper addresses the problem of state estimation for a class of discrete-time stochastic complex networks with a constrained and randomly varying coupling and uncertain measurements. The randomly varying coupling is governed by a Markov chain, and the capacity constraint is handled by introducing a logarithmic quantizer. The uncertainty of measurements is modeled by a multiplicative noise. An asynchronous estimator is designed to overcome the difficulty that each node cannot access to the coupling information, and an augmented estimation error system is obtained using the Kronecker product. Sufficient conditions are established, which guarantee that the estimation error system is stochastically stable and achieves the strict (Q, S, R)-γ-dissipativity. Then, the estimator gains are derived using the linear matrix inequality method. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed new design techniques.

This paper investigates the issue of finite-time state estimation for coupled Markovian neural networks subject to sensor nonlinearities, where the Markov chain with partially unknown transition probabilities is considered. A Luenberger-type state estimator is proposed based on incomplete measurements, and the estimation error system is derived by using the Kronecker product. By using the Lyapunov method, sufficient conditions are established, which guarantee that the estimation error system is stochastically finite-time bounded and stochastically finite-time stable, respectively. Then, the estimator gains are obtained via solving a set of coupled linear matrix inequalities. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed new design method.
