报告题目：Distributed Kalman Filtering over Wireless Sensor Networks in Presence of Data

                    Packet Drops

内容简介：In this talk a distributed Kalman filtering is studied over the wireless sensor network, where each sensor node is required to locally estimate the state of a linear discrete-time-invariant system, using its own observation and those transmitted from its neighbors with the presence of data packet drops and assuming the TCP-like protocol. The stationary distributed Kalman filter (DKF) is first presented that minimizes the local average error variance in the steady-state at each sensor node, based on the stabilizing solution to the corresponding Modified Algebraic Riccati Equation (MARE). The existence of the stabilizing solution to the MARE is addressed by applying the stability margin, which can be computed by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. Then the Kalman Consensus Filter (KCF), consisting of the stationary DKF and a consensus term of prior estimates, is proposed to achieve consensus among different local estimates. A necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for the Mean Square Stability of the KCF. Finally the performance of the stationary DKF and the KCF is illustrated by a numerical example.
