Distributed H∞ Consensus Filtering for Parabolic Distributed Parameter Systems with Multiple Missing Measurements: A Mobile Sensing Approach

Abstract

This paper investigates the distributed H∞ consensus filtering issue for a class of distributed parameter systems with bounded disturbance. In a framework of optimizing performance, a new approach to improving filter performance is proposed by employing mobile sensor networks. Moreover, the information missing in mobile sensor networks is modeled as a conditional probability distribution. The aim of the filtering challenge is to construct a distributed consensus filter such that the filtering error system is globally asymptotically stable in the mean square, and what disturbances do to the estimation accuracy is attenuated at the H∞ consensus performance level. Utilizing the Lyapunov direct approach and the spatial operator technique, several sufficient criteria are given for the proposed filter to satisfy the H∞ consensus performance constraint. Finally, a numerical simulation is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the design scheme of the proposed filter.
