We focus on the problem of information loss in terms of packet drops, which are modelled as stochastic events that depend on the current state of the network. To design reliable control systems the state of the network must be estimated online, together with the state of the controlled process. This paper proposes various approaches to discrete and hybrid stochastic estimation of network and process states, where the network is modelled as a Markov chain and the packet drop probability depends on the states of the Markov chain. The proposed techniques are evaluated on simulations and experimental data. date: 2008 date_type: published publication: Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control volume: 4981 publisher: Springer-Verlag pagerange: 144-157 id_number: 0.1007/978-3-540-78929-1 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783540789284 book_title: Hybrid Systems: Computation and Control editors_name: Egerstedt, Magnus editors_name: Mishra, Bud official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-78929-1_11 citation: Di Cairano, Stefano and Johasson, K.H. and Bemporad, Alberto and Murray, Richard M.
