Mobility of nodes is considered as the potential solution for improving Ad Hoc network performance, such as maintaining a specified network topology, improving the power efficiency, and enhancing signal-to-noise ratio at the receivers, etc. However, node movement consumes certain amount of energy, which is limited at nodes, and should be counted when optimizing the system performance. In this paper, a distributed adaptive movement control algorithm to optimize the performance and overall power of Ad Hoc networks is proposed. In this algorithm, the decision of node movement is adaptively made accordance with the receiving signal strength. The results show that the mobility control algorithm can be effective to improve the network connectivity and also the performance.
