According to the mobility of the nodes in Ad Hoc network,this paper gives an algorithm of the movement control based on the strength of the receiving signal.It proposes a way to optimize the network configuration in the situation that the position information of nodes is unavailable.And furthermore,in this paper,the performance function is also defined.That is,when a node moves to the point where the function is minimized,the transmission cost is also minimized.On the basis of this concept,we can fix the node's target point at the optimum solution of the function.And this solution can be found through the receiving signal strength.Simulation results show that the algorithm can be used to find a node's target point and minimize the transmission cost by moving the node to this target point.
