A model is established using an orthogonal vector to capture the dynamics of harmonic signals with direct current attenuation components. For the assurance of reliable information delivery, a strategy employing an amplify-and-forward relay with stochastic transmission power is used to schedule data from sensors to the remote filter. Furthermore, a set of random variables that obey Bernoulli distributions is used to characterize the stochastic nature of the communication delays. With the goal of achieving accurate power harmonic detection, a recursive filtering algorithm is aimed to be designed in the presence of the amplify-and-forward relay strategy and stochastic communication delays, which ensures that the desired filter gain parameter is derived recursively by minimizing the upper bound on the filtering error covariance. Ultimately, the effectiveness of the proposed filtering algorithm is demonstrated through simulation experiments on power harmonic detection, thereby verifying its capability in tracking harmonic dynamics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55413,"journal":{"name":"Automatica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142421962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A remote legitimate user estimates the state of a linear plant from the state information received from a sensor. Transmissions from the sensor occur via an insecure and unreliable network. An active eavesdropper may perform an attack during system operation. The eavesdropper intercepts transmissions from the sensor, whilst simultaneously sabotaging the data transfer from the sensor to the remote legitimate user to harm its estimation performance. To maintain state confidentiality, we propose an encoding scheme that is activated on the detection of an eavesdropper. Our scheme transmits noise based on a pseudo-random indicator, pre-arranged at the legitimate user and sensor. The transmission of noise harms the eavesdropper’s performance, more than that of the legitimate user. Using the proposed encoding scheme, we impair the eavesdropper’s expected estimation performance, whilst minimizing expected performance degradation at the legitimate user. We explore the trade-off between state confidentiality and legitimate user performance degradation by selecting the probability that the sensor transmits noise. Under certain design choices, the trace of the expected estimation error covariance of the eavesdropper is greater than that of the legitimate user.
