AB -  The  performances  of  most  demand-driven  anycast  routing  protocols  for  wireless  sensor 
networks(WSN) are not good in terms of time delay and energy consumption. For the problem, an anycast 
routing  protocol  based  on  mobile  agent  for  WSN  is  proposed  in  this  paper.  In  this  protocol,  only  one-hop 
neighbor nodes routing information is required by each sensor node, and their monitoring data needs to report 
to  any  base  station  by  their  cluster-head.  Cluster  heads  search  anycast  members  routing  information  by 
mobile  agents  and  establish  an  anycast  routing  table.  We  then  present  energy  consumption  model  of  our 
protocol.  Experiments  data  show  that  our  protocol  has  a  better  performance  of  energy  consumption  in  a 
large-scale or a high-density network..
