Linear Unbiased Optimal Filter for Discrete-Time Systems with One-Step Random Delays and Inconsecutive Packet Dropouts

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the linear unbiased minimum variance estimation problem for discrete-time stochastic linear control systems with one-step random delay and inconsecutive packet dropout. A new model is developed to describe the phenomena of the one-step delay and inconsecutive packet dropout by employing a Bernoulli distributed stochastic variable. Based on the model, a recursive linear unbiased optimal filter in the linear minimum variance sense is designed by the method of completing the square. The solution to the linear filter is given by three equations including a Riccati equation, a Lyapunov equation and a simple difference equation. A sufficient condition for the existence of the steady-state filter is given. A simulation shows the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.  DOI:  http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v11i11.3523
