Encoding-decoding strategy based resilient state estimation for bias-corrupted stochastic nonlinear systems.

This paper is concerned with the resilient state estimation problem for a type of stochastic nonlinear systems, in which the possible dynamical bias is considered that is depicted by a dynamical equation. In pursuit of enhancing the robustness of the propagated data, a binary encoding strategy (BES) is exploited in the binary symmetric channel (BSC). While the random bit errors caused by the channel noise may take place during the propagation of the binary bit string via the memoryless BSC. To characterize the occurrence of the bit errors, a series of Bernoulli distributed random variables is adopted. More specifically, in order to deal with the possible gain fluctuation of the estimator in the execution process, a resilient state estimator is employed. This paper intends to put forward a novel resilient estimation scheme under the BES, which can assure that the estimation error dynamics is exponentially ultimately bounded in mean square. A sufficient criterion is first acquired for the existence of the expected resilient estimator and the estimator parameter is achieved by solving a convex optimization problem. Finally, an illustrative simulation example is provided to verify the validity of the theoretical results.
