Abstract :
In mobile communication environments, traditional routing protocols designed for static wireless sensor networks may fail to deliver data timely. The aim of this work is to identify improvements that can be obtained considering mobility and to recognize its research challenges. We briefly describe different levels of mobility in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and highlight the efficiency of routing in the presence of the mobility.
