Fusion estimation against mixed network attacks for systems with random parameter matrices, correlated noises, and quantized measurements.

This paper is concerned with the information fusion estimation problems for stochastic uncertain systems with quantized measurements and mixed network attacks including random deception attack and denial-of-service (DoS) attack. The cross-correlated random parameter matrices and addictive noises simultaneously exist in the studied system. By resorting to the optimal prediction compensation mechanism for DoS attack, an optimal centralized fusion filter in the linear minimum variance sense is proposed using an innovation analysis approach. In addition, the Kalman-like recursive distributed optimal linear fusion predictor and filter without feedback are presented based on local estimators from single-sensor subsystems. The estimation error cross-covariance matrices between two arbitrary local estimators, and those between local and prior fusion estimators are derived. They have good flexibility due to the parallel structure. However, they have lower accuracy than the centralized fusion estimators. To further improve the estimation accuracy, the distributed optimal linear fusion predictor and filter with feedback are also presented. They avoid the calculation of cross-covariance matrices. Moreover, it has been mathematically proved that they have the same estimation accuracy as the centralized fusion estimators. A simulation example demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
