Distributed fusion estimation for stochastic uncertain systems with network-induced complexity and multiple noise

This article investigates an issue of distributed fusion estimation under network-induced complexity and stochastic parameter uncertainties. First, a novel signal selection method based on event trigger is developed to handle network-induced packet dropouts, as well as packet disorders resulting from random transmission delays, where the H₂/H∞ performance of the system is analyzed in different noise environments. In addition, a linear delay compensation strategy is further employed for solving the complex network-induced problem, which may deteriorate system performance. Moreover, a weighted fusion scheme is used to integrate multiple resources through an error cross-covariance matrix. Several case studies validate the proposed algorithm and demonstrate satisfactory system performance in target tracking.
