Mobility in wireless sensor networks has attracted a lot of attention in the recent years [6] and has introduced unique challenges in aspects like resource management, coverage, routing protocols, security, etc. The next evolutionary step for sensor networks is to handle the mobility effect in all its forms. In this paper, we propose a mobility-aware routing protocol, using zone-base information and a cluster-like communication between nodes. The routing protocol has two different stages: Route Creation and Route Preservation. Route creation is used to discover a route from source to destination. Route preservation is used to repair the route when it is defective.
