Robust Filtering for 2-D Systems With Uncertain-Variance Noises and Weighted Try-Once-Discard Protocols

Abstract

The robust filtering problem is tackled for a class of shift-varying 2-D systems with uncertain-variance noises under the scheduling of weighted try-once-discard (WTOD) protocol. The measurements collected from the sensors are transmitted to a remote filter via a shared network. To alleviate the communication burden and obviate the network congestion, the WTOD protocol is adopted to orchestrate the data transmission, where a sensor node is solely permitted to broadcast its information to the remote filter at every transmission step. Moreover, the resilient filter is exploited to regulate the possible gain perturbation. The objective of the addressed problem is to design a robust filter in a recursive structure such that, in the simultaneous presence of the uncertain-variance noises and the WTOD protocol, the minimal upper bounds (UBs) on the filtering error variances (EVs) are developed for the considered system. First, by means of induction and stochastic analysis technique, certain UBs in terms of coupled recursive difference equations are derived for the actual EVs. Then, a proper filter is carefully designed which achieves the minimization of the obtained UBs at each step. Finally, an illustrative example is presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed protocol-based filtering method.
