Abstract: The address management and maintenance have become a more and more important issue as with the rapid development of the wireless sensor network.There are two typical address configuration protocol（i.e.，Quorum，MANETConf） can be competent for that works adaptively by utilizing distributed method.However，the network applications are constricted by the message overhead and the configuration time of the above two approaches.In this paper，a location-based method is proposed to assist the address configuration.The position of each mobile node can be obtained by decoding the GPS synchronization channel，which can improve the performance of the configuration time and the message overhead.A simulation platform is also constructed to verify the efficiency of this method.
