Stochastic Event-Based Distributed Fusion Estimation Over Sensor Networks With Fading Channel

The problem of the stochastic event-based distributed fusion estimation for a class of Gaussian systems is investigated. Considering the deterministic event-triggers destroying the Gaussian property of system states, the stochastic event-triggered mechanisms (SETMs) are used, which also can relieve the network transmission burden. Under the stochastic transmission schedules, a two-step fusion estimation method is developed. The first step, with the consideration of channel fading, the local estimation of each sensor is proposed by using the measurements from itself and its neighbors. The second step, the fusion algorithm is designed to eliminate the disagreements among local estimations of each sensor. Finally, experiment is carried out to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed distributed fusion estimation.
