Branch and bound method for sensor scheduling in discrete time
In this paper we consider the question of sensor scheduling in
discrete time. The basic problem is to design a linear filter
whose output provides an unbiased minimum variance estimate of a
signal process whose noisy measurements from multiple sensors are
available for input to the filter. The problem is to select one
source (sensor data) dynamically so as to minimize estimation
errors. We formulate the problem as an optimal control problem. By
analyzing the positive semi-definite property of the error
covariance matrix, we develop a branch and bound method to
calculate the optimal scheduling strategy and give a numerical
result for interpretation.
