Abstract

The paper is devoted to the optimal filtering problem of a class of Markov jump processes. The estimated system state is a Markov jump process with a finite set of possible states representing the probabilistic distributions. The available measurement information includes continuous and counting observations. The continuous observation is a function of the system state corrupted by an independentWiener process. The counting observation intensity also depends on the state. The filtering problem is to find the conditional mathematical expectation of a scalar function of the state (a signal process) given the available observations. The required estimate represents the solution to a system of the stochastic differential system. The paper also introduces an analog of the Kushner–Stratonovich equation describing the temporal evolution of the state conditional distribution. A numerical example illustrates the performance of the proposed filtering estimate. It presents the monitoring of the quality state and numerical parameters of a communication channel given the oscillating observations of round-trip time and the flow of the packet losses.
