Filter design, fault estimation and reliable control for networked time-varying systems: a survey

This paper is concerned with the overview of the recent progress in filter design, fault estimation and reliable control for networked time-varying systems (NTVSs). Firstly, the concepts of the NTVS, incomplete information, filtering, estimation and control have been introduced. Secondly, the incomplete information phenomena are considered include, but not limited to, communication delays, measurement losses, actuator/sensor faults, signal quantizations and randomly occurring uncertainties. Subsequently, the developments as well as some recent results on filter design, fault estimation and reliable control are reviewed for NTVSs subject to incomplete information in great detail. Finally, conclusions are given and some possible future research directions are pointed out concerning the filtering, estimation and control problems
