Remote State Estimation of Multiple Systems over Multiple Markov Fading Channels

— We investigate the stability conditions for remote state estimation of multiple linear time-invariant (LTI) systems over multiple wireless time-varying communication channels. We answer the following open problem: what is the fundamental requirement on the multi-sensor-multi-channel system to guarantee the existence of a sensor scheduling policy that can stabilize the remote estimation system? We propose a novel policy construction and analytical framework and derive the necessary-and-sufficient stability condition in terms of the LTI system parameters and the channel statistics.
