Abstract :
In recent ten years, wireless sensor network technology has a rapid development. After a brief introduction of the wireless sensor network, some main research results of energy conservation and node deployment is provided. Then the applications of WSN in the medical health, environment and agriculture, intelligent home furnishing and building, military, space and marine exploration are outlined. In addition, we analyze the advantage of WSN in these areas. Finally, we summarize the main factors that affect the applications of wireless sensor network.
