This paper considers a remote state estimation problem with multiple sensors observing a dynamical process, where sensors transmit local state estimates over an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) packet dropping channel to a remote estimator. At every discrete time instant, the remote estimator decides whether each sensor should transmit or not, with each sensor transmission incurring a fixed energy cost. The channel is shared such that collisions will occur if more than one sensor transmits at a time. Performance is quantified via an optimization problem that minimizes a convex combination of the expected estimation error covariance at the remote estimator and expected energy usage across the sensors. For transmission schedules dependent only on the estimation error covariance at the remote estimator, this work establishes structural results on the optimal scheduling which show that 1) for unstable systems, if the error covariance is large then a sensor will always be scheduled to transmit, and 2) there is a threshold-type behaviour in switching from one sensor transmitting to another. Specializing to the single sensor case, these structural results demonstrate that a threshold policy (i.e. transmit if the error covariance exceeds a certain threshold and dont transmit otherwise) is optimal. We also consider the situation where sensors transmit measurements instead of state estimates, and establish structural results including the optimality of threshold policies for the single sensor, scalar case. These results provide a theoretical justification for the use of such threshold policies in variance based event triggered estimation. Numerical studies confirm the qualitative behaviour predicted by our structural results. An extension of the structural results to Markovian packet drops is also outlined.
In networked systems, state estimation is hampered by communication limits. Past approaches, which consider scheduling sensors through deterministic event-triggers, reduce communication and maintain estimation quality. However, these approaches destr
General nonlinear continuous-time systems are considered for which the state is to be estimated via a packet-based communication network. We assume that the system has multiple sensor nodes, affected by measurement noise, which can transmit output da
This paper considers the problem of sensory data scheduling of multiple processes. There are $n$ independent linear time-invariant processes and a remote estimator monitoring all the processes. Each process is measured by a sensor, which sends its lo
This paper studies the optimal output-feedback control of a linear time-invariant system where a stochastic event-based scheduler triggers the communication between the sensor and the controller. The primary goal of the use of this type of scheduling
The paper proposes a novel event-triggered control scheme for nonlinear systems based on the input-delay method. Specifically, the closed-loop system is associated with a pair of auxiliary input and output. The auxiliary output is defined as the deri
