The methods proposed in this paper enable resynchronization when a synchronization deviation occurs in a sensor node without a beacon or an ack in a wireless sensor network under ultra-limited but stable resources such as the energy generated from tiny solar cell batteries. The method for a single-hop network is straightforward; when a receiver does not receive data, it is simply placed in recovery mode, in which the receiver sets its cycle length TB to (b ± γ)T, where b is non-negative integer, 0 < γ < 1, and T is its cycle length in normal mode, and in which the receiver sets its active interval WB to a value that satisfies WB ≥ W + γT, where W is its active interval in normal mode. In contrast, a sender stays in nor- mal mode. Resynchronization methods for linear multi-hop and tree-based multi-hop sensor networks are constructed using the method for a single- hop network. All the methods proposed here are complete because they are always able to resynchronize networks. The results of simulations based on the resynchronization methods are given and those of an experiment using actual sensor nodes with wireless modules are also presented, which show that the methods are feasible.
