Distributed State and Input Estimation Over Sensor Networks Under Deception Attacks

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the joint state and input estimation problem for linear discrete time-varying systems over peer-to-peer sensor networks, in which deception attacks are taken into account. By resorting to singular value decomposition, a local estimator structure is proposed to jointly estimate the system states and unknown inputs. Then, a distributed state estimator is constructed by fusing local estimates and covariance matrices. In addition, a sufficient condition is provided to ensure the uniformly bounded estimation error (in mean square) in each node. Finally, a numerical example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed estimation algorithm.
