    In this talk, we investigate the network state estimation problem for a class of discrete time-varying systems. To effectively estimate the system state over the sensor network, the consistent  distributed Kalman filter inspired by covariance intersection fusion (CI) is proposed, and the consistency of this filter at  real time is proved. We also give a way to obtain some adaptive CI weights and prove that these weights have lower error variance bound than the constant CI weights. Based on a global observability condition and the strong connectivity of the directed network, the stability of the proposed filter is analyzed and guaranteed for time-varying systems. Then the distributed state estimation problem over a sensor network is studied with event-based communication scheme. A novel scalable event-based distributed Kalman filtering algorithm is proposed to reduce the burden of communications between sensors. Instead of eventtriggering condition relying on state estimation, a triggering mechanism depending on a lower bound of the true information matrix is developed. Also, the stability conclusion of the distributed filter is provided under certain conditions of collective observability and suitable connectivity. Some numerical simulations illustrate the feasibility as well as the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
