Optimal Sequence-Based Control and Estimation of Networked Linear Systems (1211.5086v1)

Abstract: In this paper, a unified approach to sequence-based control and estimation of linear networked systems with multiple sensors is proposed. Time delays and data losses in the controller-actuator-channel are compensated by sending sequences of control inputs. The sequence-based design paradigm is further extended to the sensor-controller-channels without increasing the load of the network. In this context, we present a recursive solution based on the Hypothesizing Distributed Kalman Filter (HKF) that is included in the overall sequence-based controller design.
