State estimation of networked nonlinear systems with aperiodic sampled delayed measurement.

Abstract

This paper aims to study the remote state estimation of networked nonlinear systems subject to aperiodic sampled delayed measurement. A novel sampled-data non-affine nonlinear observer (SNNO) is designed to address this issue. The designed observer is composed of two parts: the first part is a continuous-time observer, and the second part is an auxiliary variable design that provides continuous compensation of output estimation errors for the first part's state observer. The design of this auxiliary variable provides a new compensation scheme for sampled delayed measurement. The input-to-state stability of the SNNO with respect to the system and output disturbance is proved by means of trajectory-based stability theory. The new theoretical tool reveals the relationship between the convergence rate of the proposed SNNO and the sampling and delay periods. Simulations and comparative analyses with other sampled-data observers are given.
