Moving Horizon Estimation for Uncertain Networked Control Systems with Packet Loss

Abstract EN

This paper studies a moving horizon estimation approach to solve the constrained state estimation problem for uncertain networked systems with random packet loss.

The system model error range is known, and the packet loss phenomena are modeled by a binary switching random sequence.

Taking the model error, the packet loss, the system constraints, and the network transmission noise into account, a time-varying weight matrix is obtained by solving a least-square problem.

Then, a robust moving horizon estimator is designed to estimate the system state by minimizing an optimization problem with an arrival cost function.

The proposed estimator ensures that the optimal estimated state can be obtained in the worst case.

Furthermore, the asymptotic convergence of the estimator is analyzed and some sufficient conditions for convergence are given.

Finally, the validity of the proposed approach can be demonstrated by numerical simulations.
