This paper addresses the issue of the state estimation for cyber–physical systems (CPSs) with limited communication resources, sensor saturation and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. In order to conveniently handle nonlinear term in CPSs, a Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model is borrowed to approximate it. The event-triggered scheme and quantization mechanism are introduced to relieve the effects brought by limited communication resources. By taking the influence of sensor saturation and DoS attacks into account, a novel mathematical model of state estimation for CPSs is constructed with limited communication resources. By using the Lyapunov stability theory, the sufficient conditions, which can ensure the system exponentially stable, are derived. Moreover, the explicit expressions of the event-based estimator gains are obtained in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). At last, a simulated example is provided for illustrating the effectiveness of the proposed method. •The estimator design is proposed for CPSs with limited communication resources, sensor saturation and DoS attacks.•The event-triggered scheme and quantization mechanism are adopted to relieve the effects of limited communication resources.•A novel mathematical model of estimating CPSs with limited communication resources, sensor saturation and DoS attacks is constructed.•A new criterion for stabilization analysis of CPSs is obtained and the estimator gains are derived.
