Abstract

A receding horizon state estimator estimates state of a vehicle such as to reduce total communication cost of acquiring external measurements over a prediction horizon, in which state estimation accuracy for a time step is a function of state estimation accuracy for a previous time step. For each time step of the prediction horizon, estimator selects a subset of external sensors with external measurements sufficient to estimate the state with accuracy satisfying the constraint on state estimation accuracy for the corresponding time step while reducing a total communication cost of acquiring the external measurements over the prediction horizon. The estimator requests the external measurements from the subset of external sensors determined for a current time step and estimates the state of the vehicle using the internal and the requested external measurements.
