Abstract

Abstract: The distributed state and parameter estimation problem is investigated in this paper for discrete-time nonlinear systems subject to sensor nonlinearities and stochastic disturbances over a wireless sensor network. A novel architecture for distributed state estimator is introduced that incorporates adaptive coupling gains to govern the information exchange between the sensor nodes under event-triggering mechanism. The aim of this paper is to provide a scalable structure for unknown parameter identification independent of sensor networks' complexity. The boundedness of estimation error is ensured in the framework of uniformly ultimately bounded stability by developing an algebraic connectivity based criterion. The estimator gains including proposed coupling gains are then presented as solution to matrix inequalities. Finally, two simulation examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed estimation architecture. Highlights: A novel distributed state estimation structure is introduced. Both unknown parameters and sensor nonlinearities have been considered. Event-triggered observer conditions with improved feasibility are developed. A method for determining coupling gains for complex design problem is revealed.
