Abstract
This paper studies transmission scheduling for remote
state estimation in the presence of an eavesdropper. A sensor
transmits local state estimates over a packet dropping link to a remote
estimator, while an eavesdropper can successfully overhear
each sensor transmission with a certain probability. The objective
is to determine when the sensor should transmit, in order to minimize
the estimation error covariance at the remote estimator, while
trying to keep the eavesdropper error covariance above a certain
level. This is done by solving an optimization problem that minimizes
a linear combination of the expected estimation error covariance
and the negative of the expected eavesdropper error covariance.
Structural results on the optimal transmission policy are
derived, and shown to exhibit thresholding behavior in the estimation
error covariances. In the infinite horizon situation, it is shown
that with unstable systems one can keep the expected estimation
error covariance bounded while the expected eavesdropper error
covariance becomes unbounded, for all eavesdropping probabilities
strictly less than one.
