Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for providing lossless transmission of sensor data in a wireless network are provided. In some aspects, a method for transmitting data in a wireless sensor network includes collecting data at a sensor node, attaching a timestamp to the data, buffering the data and the timestamp to a memory device and retransmitting the collected data where the sensor node fails to receive an acknowledgement message from the base station after the data transmission. In some aspects, a system can include a plurality of wireless sensor nodes having synchronized clocks and a base station. Collected sensor data can be associated with a timestamp via the clock prior to transmitting the data to the base station. The data can be buffered at a memory device and retransmitted therefrom to provide lossless data transmission.

Abstract: A method of sampling data includes providing a plurality of wireless nodes, wherein each of the wireless nodes includes a receiver, a real time clock and a counter. Ticks of the real time clock are counted by the counter. The method also includes broadcasting a common beacon for receipt by receivers of each of the wireless nodes, and upon receipt of the common beacon setting each of the counters to a first preset value.
