Abstract

In this paper, the particle filtering problem is investigated for a class of networked nonlinear systems with random one-step sensor delay and missing measurements. The phenomena of missing measurements and random one-step sensor delay are modeled by two random variables, both obeying the Bernoulli distribution. Here, we derive an explicit expression for the likelihood function when the possible occurrence of one-step sensor delay and measurement loss is taken into consideration. Based on this likelihood function, we propose a novel particle filtering algorithm to treat the nonlinear estimation problem in the simultaneous presence of random sensor delay and measurement loss. Finally, a simulation example is given to illustrate the feasibility and advantages of the proposed filtering scheme compared with traditional particle filtering algorithm.

In recent years, the nonlinear filtering problems were extensively considered due to wide applications in many fields such as target tracking, location and parameter estimation [1–6]. It is well known that Kalman first proposed the classical Kalman filter in [7]. Up to now, the Kalman filter is still widely used as a standard framework to solve the linear estimation problem. However, in a practical environment, most of the systems have nonlinear characteristics [8, 9], hence the study of nonlinear filtering problems is of important significance. A well-known method, the Monte Carlo method, was proposed in [10] and used to solve the nonlinear filtering problems. In addition, the sequential importance sam-

pling algorithm was utilized to estimate the nonlinear system states, where the proposed algorithm takes a set of samples extracted from the proposed distribution to approximate the distribution of the target and each sample has a corresponding weight. Due to considering the problem of sample weight degradation in the sequential importance sampling algorithm, the application of sequential importance sampling algorithm in solving nonlinear filtering problem was very limited at that time. In order to avoid this case, the re-sampling technique was introduced into the Monte Carlo importance sampling process and a new filter was proposed in [11], which can effectively solve the problem of the sample weight degradation. By summarizing the sequential importance sam-

The basic idea of this method is to approximate the posterior probability distribution of the system by employing a set of samples (or particles) in order to estimate the state of the nonlinear system. Subsequently, the particle filtering algorithm has been widely applied in many practical problems.

Due to the wide application of particle filtering approach, the scholars paid close attention to the developments of particle filtering technique in many different research fields, such as modern signal processing, communication, artificial intelligence, autonomous mobile robot and target tracking. Accordingly, a large number of application results were published concerning on particle filtering algorithm. To mention a few, for the situation of randomly missing measurements in engineering practice, a filtering method was proposed in [13] for nonlinear system based on sequential importance sampling and was applied to online state estimation for nonlinear non-Gauss systems. In [14], a new hybrid filtering algorithm was proposed for a class of nonlinear systems with linear state equation and nonlinear measurement equation based on the approaches of Kalman filter and particle filter. Based on Bayesian filtering framework, a new particle filter was designed in [15] for nonlinear systems with random one-step delayed measurements, where the probability of the time-delay is unknown and is estimated by maximum likelihood criterion. When taking the multiple-step time-delay into account, the nonlinear filtering problem was discussed in [16] for nonlinear systems with multiple-step randomly delayed measurements by applying the idea as in [15]. When the data are measured by multiple sensors, the problem of distributed particle filtering was investigated in [17] for nonlinear tracking over wireless sensor networks. Moreover, a distributed particle filter was constructed in [18] for bearings-only tracking of a target moving on the surface of a sphere and a proof of uniform convergence of distributed particle filtering algorithm was given in [19].

missing measurements have attracted the attention of many scholars and a large number of results were reported [26–30]. Recently, in [31], a linear optimal filtering problem was investigated for a class of stochastic timevarying systems subject to state delay and randomly multiple sensor delays based on the innovative analysis approach and recursive projection formula. By using the same method as in [31], the optimal filter was designed in [32] for a networked stochastic state delay systems with missing measurements. Based on the state augmentation approach and the minimum mean square error principle, the optimal filtering problem was investigated in [33] for a class of discrete stochastic systems with finitestep autocorrelated process noises, random one-step sensor delay and missing measurements. In [34], the optimal filter was constructed for stochastic systems subject to the random two-step sensor delays and multiplicative noises. Moreover, an optimal linear filter was constructed in the sense of the minimum mean-square error in [35] for discrete-time systems with measurement-delay and packet dropout. By utilizing the Riccati-like difference equation approach, new recursive state estimation method was developed in [36] for time-varying complex networks subject to missing measurements. However, to the best of authors’ knowledge, these investigations do not provide much attention to the problem of the particle filtering algorithm for discrete nonlinear stochastic systems with random one-step sensor delay and missing measurements.

Motivated by the above discussions, in this paper, we aim to investigate the particle filtering problem for a class of networked nonlinear systems with random onestep sensor delay and missing measurements. Two typical network-induced phenomena, namely the sensor delay and measurement loss, are taken into account and incorporated into the observation equation. The phenomena of random one-step sensor delay and missing measurements are described by two Bernoulli distributed random variables with known conditional probabilities. Based on the Bayesian filtering framework, the particles and their weights are updated due to taking the random one-step sensor delay and missing measurements into account. Here, by the assumption of first-order Markovian process, we make the first attempt to propose the particle filter for nonlinear systems subject to random one-

It is shown that, based on the new particle filtering algorithm and Matlab software, we can recursively compute the state estimate and the error covariance matrices. Finally, we give a numerical example to verify the performance of the proposed filtering algorithm.

Remark 1 In the model (3), if λk = 1, yk = zk , it stands for that the sensor receives the data at time instant k successfully; if λk = 0 and ξk = 1, yk = zk−1 , it means that there exists one-step delay; if λk = 0 and ξk = 0, yk = νk , it represents that current measurements are missing completely.

Design of Estimation Algorithm

Due to the phenomena of random one-step sensor delay and missing measurements, the selection of importance weights are different from traditional particle filter. Hence, we simply introduce the importance sampling methods in [37]. Firstly, the following lemma is

p(yk |λk = 0, ξk = 0, xk , xk−1 ) = pνk−1 (yk ).

Based on the similar derivation in [15], the likelihood density function p(yk |xk , xk−1 ) can be calculated by using equations (16), (18) and (19) as follows:

Based on the equations (11) and (13), the importance weights wk can be expressed in the following form:

Since the output of the sensor yk may be zk−1 or νk if the one-step time-delay or missing measurements happen, the update of importance weights wk in (14) is different from that in the traditional particle filter. Also, the measurement yk depends on the value of the Bernoulli random variables λk and ξk . Since λk and ξk are independent with other signals, we can evaluate the likelihood density as follows:

According to Theorem 1, a new recursive algorithm can be established to obtain the nonlinear filter for the addressed discrete stochastic nonlinear systems with random one-step sensor delay and missing measurements. We can design the particle filter in Theorem 1 as the following algorithm.

Remark 4 It’s well known that the extended Kalman filter is designed by using the first-order linearization for nonlinear stochastic systems, where the error will lead to the divergence of the proposed filtering algorithm. Hence, the unscented Kalman filtering is proposed based on applying the unscented transformation approach to reduce the error of the the extended Kalman filtering algorithm. However, in many practice systems, the non-Gaussian problems can not be solved by employing the unscented Kalman filtering. Therefore, the particle filtering algorithm, also called the Bayesian estimation algorithm, has been received considerable attention. Simply speaking, the particle filtering algorithm is to approximate the probability density function of the system by employing a set of random samples which spread in the sate space to obtain the minimum variance distribution of the state. Here, the samples or particles, when the number of particles N → ∞, can approximate any form of probability density distribution. What’s more, the particle filtering algorithm isn’t subject to the Gaussian distribution and it can approximate the more wide distribution. Due to the advantage of the particle filtering algorithm for the nonlinear non-Gaussian systems, the particle filtering algorithm proposed in the paper has extensive application than the traditional extended Kalman filter and unscented Kalman filter.
