Abstract :
Wireless sensor network, which is made by the convergence of sensor, micro-electro-mechanism system and wireless networks technologies, is a novel technology about acquiring and processing information. It can be used in various fields and it has been one of hot spots. In this paper, the architecture of wireless sensor network is briefly introduced, then some researching hot spots, including routing, topology control, node locating, nodes´ real timing and synchronism, data handling are explained. Finally, several future research directions are put forward.
