Distributed H -consensus filtering with sensor networks: a finite horizon solution

The distributed H∞-consensus filtering problem is investigated for a class of discrete time-varying non-linear systems on a finite horizon. The topology of the sensor networks is assumed to be Markovian switching and the missing measurements (packet dropouts) problem is also considered. Based on the recursive linear matrix inequalities, an effective distributed H∞-consensus filter is designed, which is suitable for online computation. A numerical example is given to verify the effectiveness of the obtained results.
