A new mobile agent architecture for wireless sensor networks

In this paper, an universal mobile agent architecture for WSNs is proposed. In the traditional client/server based network computing, local data is transferred to destination directly. In mobile-agent based computing, mobile agent is dedicated to eliminate information redundancy and communication overhead in order to prolong network lifetime.The advantages of the mobile agent paradigm make it more suitable for wireless sensor networks(WSNs) than client/server paradigm. The ways of eliminate information redundancy and communication overhead has been discussed in detail technical requirements and key techniques for wireless sensor networks are also analyzed.
