Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the distributed recursive fault estimation problem for a class of discrete time-varying systems with binary encoding schemes over a sensor network. The fault signal with zero second-order difference is taken into account to reflect the sensor failures. Since the communication bandwidth in practice is constrained, the binary encoding schemes are exploited to regulate the signal transmission from the neighbouring sensors to the local fault estimator. In addition, due to the influence of channel noises, each bit might change with a small crossover probability. In the presence of sensor faults and bit errors, an upper bound for the estimation error covariance matrix is ensured and minimized at each time step via designing the gain matrices of the estimator. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is verified by a simulation.
1. Introduction
Sensor networks are constitutive of numerous inexpensive wireless devices installed over the environment of interest to transmit the collected data. These devices, called sensor nodes, are typically distributed in space to form a wireless self-organizing network that is capable of processing assignments through information interaction among sensors. With the rapid development of hardware implementation, software development and theoretical research, sensor networks have gained increasing applications in multifarious fields, such as battlefield surveillance, distributed robotics, biomedical health monitoring, traffic control and automatic production, see, e.g. Alippi and Galperti (Citation2008), Dong et al. (Citation2013), Ding et al. (Citation2012), Cong et al. (Citation2021), Geng et al. (Citation2021) and Jia (Citation2021). One of the interesting research themes of sensor networks is how to validly transmit collected data in case of sensor faults. Unlike traditional networks without data sharing, sensor networks have the characteristic of relying on dense deployment and coordination to perform tasks, which have become an ever-growing research concern (Battilotti & Mekhail, Citation2019; Caballero-Águila et al., Citation2017; Ge et al., Citation2019a, Citation2019b; Lin & Sun, Citation2019; L. Liu et al., Citation2021; Liu et al., Citation2015; Zhao, Citation2018).
In sensor networks, distributed filtering has always played a key role in numerous areas such as signal processing and control engineering, and plenty of the previous research achievements about distributed filtering algorithms have focused on robustness or stability, see, e.g. Zhang et al. (Citation2017), Zhang et al. (Citation2015) and Zhu et al. (Citation2016). In particular, a novel distributed filter whose available innovations are from not only the individual sensor but also its neighbouring ones according to the given topology has been designed in Ding et al. (Citation2017) with effects from the uniform quantization and the deception attack on the measurement outputs. Furthermore, cooperative information processing mechanism is the core link of distributed filters, that is, each node calculates by using both its own measurement and the information accepted/transmitted from its neighbouring sensors based on the connection topology, which means it is necessary to require the channel to transmit signals safely and accurately. Naturally, the encoding–decoding strategy for signal transmission, which facilitates the data safety and reduces the network resource occupation, has attracted much attention quickly (Cao et al., Citation2021; Wang et al., Citation2018).
The encoding and decoding scheme is a popular direction in recent years to avoid the trouble that the signal is easy to be monitored in the transmission process. Compared with other schemes, the binary encoding schemes (BESs), using the binary bit string to encode, have merits of little network resource consumption and higher anti-interference ability (S. Hu et al., Citation2020; Xu et al., Citation2020). In general situations, random bit errors may occur inevitably considering the existence of channel noises during the course of digital signal transmission, in which the binary bit is changed to the other value. When bit errors occur, the decoded signal has a certain deviation from the encoded signal, and such a distinction would result in that the system performance degrades. Recently, initial research attention has been paid to the analysis of the influence from random bit errors on the estimation performance, see Leung et al. (Citation2015), Liu and Wang (Citation2021), Morrow and Lehnert (Citation1989) and Zou et al. (Citation2021). For instance, the moving-horizon state estimation problem has been investigated in Liu and Wang (Citation2021) of discrete-time linear dynamic network, in which the BES has been exploited during the signal transmission. Nevertheless, the relevant work has rarely been considered for the sensor network. Therefore, one of the motivations of this paper is to investigate the synthesis problem for systems under BESs over sensor networks.
Actually, due to the actual needs of production process, fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control issues have stirred many researchers' attention, which have been tackled with for various systems in a large number of publications, see, e.g. Li and Yang (Citation2017), Ye et al. (Citation2017), Selvaraj et al. (Citation2018), J. Li et al. (Citation2019), Gao et al. (Citation2019) and Song et al. (Citation2020). For example, the neural networks-based adaptive finite-time fault-tolerant control strategy has been investigated in Liu et al. (Citation2019) for a class of strict-feedback switched nonlinear systems. In Y. Li et al. (Citation2019), the fault-tolerant topic has been studied for SISO nonlinear systems by using the observer-based adaptive fuzzy optimal control. In Chen and Jiang (Citation2020), the matter of fault detection and diagnosis has been handled for traction systems in high-speed trains. As is well known, the prerequisite for accurate fault diagnosis is fault estimation, because it could effectively provide the shape and size of the defect. Noting that the failure of one sensor node may inevitably destroy the accuracy of the whole sensor network because of its distributed transmission characteristics, then it is imperative to acquire the fault information of sensor. However, on account of the complexity of math, distributed recursive estimate of faults over sensor networks has not been fully coped with, needless to say that BESs are also utilized, and this is the other motivation in this paper.
In this paper, we plan to estimate both the sensor faults and the state for time-varying systems over sensor networks with binary encoding schemes. The main contributions of this paper are emphasized in the following three aspects: (1) the problem of distributed recursive fault estimation is examined of time-varying systems with BESs over sensor networks; (2) the situation under consideration is complicated concerning time-varying parameters, sensor faults with zero second-order difference and random error codes; and (3) the upper limit of the estimation error (EE) covariance matrix is calculated and minimized afterwards by designing appropriate estimator parameters.
The remainder of this paper is outlined as follows. In Section 2, the discrete time-varying sensor network system is formulated with faults under binary encoding schemes. The distributed recursive fault estimation problem is carried out in Section 3. A simulation example is conducted in Section 4 and conclusion is given in Section 5.

2. Problem formulation and preliminaries
In this paper, we are concerned with a sensor network containing M sensor nodes, whose topology is depicted by a specified directed graph of order M with the set of nodes
, the set of edges

with adjacency elements
. An edge of
is represented by pair
. The adjacency elements associated with the edges of the graph are positive, i.e.

is taken into consideration in the first-order difference of the sensor faults
with a large covariance, that is,

In this paper, the binary encoding schemes are employed during the signal transmission from the neighbouring sensors to the local fault estimator (Liu & Wang,Citation2021). Due to the limitation of the actual communication bandwidth, only a restricted bit budget can be used to encode the signal on the communication channel, in which the use of a quantization function is required to preprocess the signal. In this paper, the original signal is coded into a binary bit sequence of finite length. The binary bit sequence is transmitted to the remote fault estimator for subsequent manipulation through a memoryless binary symmetric channel.
Assume that the range of the scalar signal is
(
) at the moment of s, where
is a scalar that depends on the application. Use a binary encoder to convert the signal
into a binary bit string of length N.
For this situation, the whole range is divided into
segments, and the interval length is given as follows:
(6)
(6) Let the uniformly spaced
points (two endpoints and internal points inside) be represented by
where
(7)
(7) A stochastic quantization function
is employed to preprocess the signal
as follows:
(8)
(8) where
is the quantized output (Aysal et al., Citation2007). When
, output
is generated according to the following probability:
(9)
(9) where
and
. In this case, we only know the probability of
(or
) rather than the specific value, which depends on the value of
.
Define as the quantization error. In terms of (Equation9
(9)
(9) ), we see that
is a stochastic noise conforming to the Bernoulli distribution as follows:
(10)
(10) It is acquired that
(11)
(11) and
(12)
(12) Since the quantization of
is performed independently, we see that

An encoding function is utilized to denote the output
based on binary bits as follows:
(13)
(13) where
(
) represents the binary bit string, which is acquired by the following expression:
(14)
(14) The next step is to transmit the binary bit sequence
through a memoryless binary symmetric channel, where each bit may change with a small probability (crossover probability) due to channel noises. Therefore the received bit sequence is defined as
where
indicating the ςth bit is with
(15)
(15) The probabilities of

where

For the convenience of analysis, we introduce the following assumption.

A decoding function is employed to decode the received bit string

. Lemma 2.1 is given to facilitate later analysis.
Lemma 2.1
Liu & Wang, Citation2021
Suppose the signal is transmitted through a memoryless binary symmetric channel with crossover probability q. The obtained signal is
, and its expectation and variance are
(18)
(18) and
(19)
(19) where
and the expectation is related to the random variable
.
Let
In terms of (Equation11
(11)
(11) ), (Equation12
(12)
(12) ), (Equation18
(18)
(18) ) and (Equation19
(19)
(19) ), it is obtained that

(23) where
and
.
Based on (Equation20(20)
(20) )–(Equation23
(23)
(23) ), we see that the received signals
suffer from certain degree of distortions unavoidably in comparison with the encoded signals
. Then, we employ the following recovered measurements for the sake of compensating for the distortions:
(24)
(24) It is noted that
. Then, the equivalent noise coming from bit errors in binary symmetric channels is represented by

(22)
(22) )–(Equation25
(25)
(25) ), we know that

Combining (Equation25(25)
(25) ) with
, one has the expression of
as follows:
(26)
(26)
Remark 2.2
In this paper, the BES is introduced in the signal transmission process from neighbouring sensors to the local sensor (also the local fault estimator). In the binary symmetric channel, the unavoidable channel noises would probably result in the bit changing from 0 to 1 (or from 1 to 0). Then, we utilize a Bernoulli distributed random sequence with a known probability distribution to reflect and characterize the flipping case of binary bit in practical situations. Furthermore, in (Equation26(26)
(26) ), the actual received signal from the neighbouring sensor of the local fault estimator is expressed by using the output signal
, the quantization error
and the noise equivalent to the influence of the bit error
. It is worth mentioning that such a description will facilitate the construction of the estimator afterwards.

are the estimator gain matrices to be designed.
Remark 2.3
In a sensor network, a sensor node presents characteristics including the cheap cost and the information acquisition from neighbouring sensors, which is a heated topic among researchers. Considering the distributed estimation issue over sensor networks, the information that the local estimator gets is generally two parts. One part is the self-measuring signal, which is obtained directly without network transmission due to the fact that the sensor node and its own estimator are physically integrated together. The other part is the signal received from neighbouring sensors via the network transmission. Correspondingly, in the estimator structure (Equation28(28)
(28) ),
and
(
) describe the measurement signal from the local node and that from the neighbouring nodes under the BES, respectively.
Define and

an upper bound for the estimation error covariance matrix
is to be found for the augmented system (Equation4

the obtained upper bound for

(27)
(27) )–(Equation28
(28)
(28) ) with the measurements of the sensor itself and its neighbours conforming to the topology information of sensor networks.
3. Main results

.
The covariance matrix of the estimation error is obtained as follows:

(40) By employing the properties of Kronecker product to (Equation40
(40)
(40) ), we further derive
(41)
(41) which shows

In this stage, we begin to design the gain matrices of estimators (Equation27(27)
(27) ) and (Equation28
(28)
(28) ).
Theorem 3.2
Given positive scalars (
), and considering system (Equation1
(1)

(46) Simplifying (Equation45
(45)
(45) ) and (Equation46
(46)
(46) ), we have the following form:

(47) and
(48)
(48) Therefore, taking (Equation47
(47)
(47) )–(Equation48
(48)
(48) ) into consideration, we can compute the desired estimator gain matrices. Moreover, the upper bound for the estimation error covariance
is recursively calculated by Riccati-like difference equation (Equation37
(37)
(37) ). The proof is accomplished now.
4. An illustrative example
In this section, a simulation example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed distributed recursive fault estimation method.
Consider a system (Equation1(1)
(1) ) whose parameters are given as follows:
According to Theorem 3.2, the estimator gains are acquired. The fault signals are chosen as
Set the initial values as
and
(
). The mean square error (MSE) is defined as: MSE
where L = 500 is the number of independent experiments. Simulation results are shown in Figures –. Figure plots the fault and its estimation of sensor i (
), it is easily seen that fault signals are estimated effectively. Due to the page limit, we take the curves of the 1st sensor (rather than those of all the sensors) as an example. Figure depicts the state estimation error trajectory of sensor 1, as shown in the figure, the error trajectory satisfies the boundedness. Figure depicts the trace of the minimal upper bound on the EE covariance according to (Equation37
(37)
(37) ) (i.e.
) and the MSE which further verifies the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and Figure describes the occurrence of bit errors of
in sensor 1, in which the value ‘1’ in the vertical axis indicates that there appears bit error according to (Equation15
(15)
(15) ). It is noted that the crossover probability q given in this simulation is 0.06, which may be smaller in actual transmission cases (e.g. the crossover probability range of
–
has been considered in Gungor et al. (Citation2010), and it has also been observed in Leung et al. (Citation2015) that for the IEEE 802.15.4 type wireless sensor networks, once the crossover probability reaches 0.1, the receiver modules would not be able to keep the connectivity). The simulation results show that, in spite of the occurrence of bit errors, the designed estimator (Equation27
(27)
(27) )–(Equation28
(28)
(28) ) has satisfactory fault estimation performance for discrete time-varying systems (Equation1
(1)
(1) ) with binary encoding schemes over a sensor network.
5. Conclusion
This paper has studied the distributed recursive fault estimation problem in binary-coded discrete-time systems based on sensor networks. Sensor faults have been modelled to characterize the fault signal property of second-order difference being zero. The BESs have been adopted in the communication channel from the neighbouring sensors to the local fault estimator, and a random variable with Bernoulli distribution has been used to describe bit errors. To attenuate the influence of bit errors on the fault estimation error, a distributed estimator has been constructed. An upper bound for the estimation error covariance matrix has been computed and then minimized by virtue of designing the proper estimator parameters. Finally, a simulation example has proved the effectiveness and the superiority of the estimation method. For subsequent research directions, we focus on coping with the fault estimation for sensor network systems with model complexities (time delays: Chen et al., Citation2020, uncertainties: Li & Liang, Citation2020, multiplicative noises: Wang et al., Citation2021, energy-bounded noises: Wen et al., Citation2021, randomly switching topologies: J.

Liu et al., Citation2021, quantizations: Zhao et al., Citation2020, censored measurements: X. Li et al., Citation2020, outliers: Shen et al., Citation2021, cyber attacks: Hou et al., Citation2020 and measurements only from partial nodes: J. Li et al., Citation2020), respectively.
