This paper investigates the ultimately bounded filtering problem for a kind of time-delay nonlinear stochastic systems with random access protocol (RAP) and uniform quantization effects (UQEs). In order to reduce the occurrence of data conflicts, the RAP is employed to regulate the information transmissions over the shared communication channel. The scheduling behavior of the RAP is characterized by a Markov chain with known transition probabilities. On the other hand, the measurement outputs are quantized by the uniform quantizer before being transmitted via the communication channel. The objective of this paper is to devise a nonlinear filter such that, in the simultaneous presence of RAP and UQEs, the filtering error dynamics is exponentially ultimately bounded in mean square (EUBMS). By resorting to the stochastic analysis technique and the Lyapunov stability theory, sufficient conditions are obtained under which the desired nonlinear filter exists, and then the filter design algorithm is presented. At last, two simulation examples are given to validate the proposed filtering strategy.
