Distributed State Estimation Over Wireless Sensor Networks With Energy Harvesting Sensors.

This article is concerned with the distributed state estimation problem over wireless sensor networks (WSNs), where each smart sensor is capable of harvesting energy from the external environment with a certain probability. The data transmission between neighboring nodes is dependent on the energy level of each sensor, and the internode communication is deemed as a failure when the current energy level is inadequate to guarantee the normal data transmission. Considering the intermittent information exchange over WSNs, a novel distributed state estimator is first constructed via introducing a set of indicator functions, and then the evolution of the probability distribution of energy level and its steady-state distribution is systematically discussed by resorting to the eigenvalue analysis approach and the mathematical induction. Furthermore, the optimal estimator gain is derived by minimizing the trace of the estimation error covariance under known communication sequences. In addition, the convergence of the minimized upper bound of the expected estimation error covariance is analyzed under any initial condition. Finally, an illustrative example regarding the target tracking problem is provided to verify the validity of the obtained theoretical results.
