Compensation for network data dropouts based on modified fractional-order Kalman filter

Data packet dropout is one of the basic problems of network control system, and the modified fractional-order Kalman filter could deal with this kind of problem effectively. In this paper, a kind of modified fractional Kalman filter is proposed based on the combination of Kalman filter algorithm and fractional calculus. Simulation results were shown to verify its effectiveness when applied on network control system.
