In this paper, an efficient network configuration method is proposed for mobile nodes in LR-WPAN (Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Network) based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. The proposed MSBS (mobile sensor beacon setup) method can be used to implement a joining procedure by which an improved processing rate can be achieved. This improvement is achieved by using BOP (Beacon only Period). In this method, the performance of mobile nodes is enhanced by using information on depth, traffic, and RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication). By using the MSBS method, trusted data can be transferred and traffic overloads that occur at specific nodes can be prevented. The information obtained from the mobile nodes in wireless networks is analyzed using the proposed method, in order to study the performance of the method. Simulation results show that the MSBS method can be used to obtain an efficient network configuration according to the mobility of nodes in LR-WPAN.
