Abstract

A method for remotely managing a sensor network topology includes: receiving a device management DM command sent by a device management server, where the DM command acts on a preconstructed management object MO node and the MO node includes a node configured to discover a sensor network topology, a node configured to describe a sensor network topology, or a node configured to modify a sensor network topology; and managing a sensor network according to the DM command, where the management includes discovering the sensor network topology, describing the sensor network topology, or modifying the sensor network topology. By adopting the present invention, remote topology management of a sensor network successive to an M2M gateway can be implemented and the complexity for implementing the management is reduced.
