On the choice of the event trigger in event-based estimation

In event-based state estimation, the event trigger decides whether or not a measurement is used for updating the state estimate. In a remote estimation scenario, this allows for trading off estimation performance for communication, and thus saving resources. In this paper, popular event triggers for estimation, such as send-on-delta (SoD), measurement-based triggering (MBT), variance-based triggering (VBT), and relevant sampling (RS), are compared for the scenario of a scalar linear process with Gaussian noise. First, the analysis of the information pattern underlying the triggering decision reveals a fundamental advantage of triggers employing the real-time measurement in their decision (such as MBT, RS) over those that do not (VBT). Second, numerical simulation studies support this finding and, moreover, provide a quantitative evaluation of the triggers in terms of their average estimation versus communication performance.
