  • Abstract
    This paper addresses the stability of a Kalman filter when measurements are intermittently available due to the non-transparent communication channel between sensor and estimator. More specifically, we present a method to determine whether the expected value of the estimation error covariance is bounded for a given stochastic network model. The method applies to general discrete-time LTI systems and adopts the finite state Markov channel model.
