Joint Channel Decoding and State Estimation in Cyber-Physical Systems

Combined with a quickest detection algorithm for error propagation prevention in joint channel decoding and state estimation, a decoding procedure based on Pearl's belief propagation is proposed to exploit the redundancy of system states in time domain for cyber-physical systems. By applying the proposed scheme to a linear model of electric generator dynamic system, numerical simulations have demonstrated that a better performance of state estimation will be obtained by the joint channel decoding and state estimation, and the error propagation can be successfully eliminated by the error propagation detection algorithm during the state estimation process.
