The invention provides a sensor network node self-positioning method based on the relation of distance, size and sequence, belonging to the field of wireless sensor network self-positioning technique. The method of the invention is characterized in that the method sequentially comprises the steps as follows: node establishing, routine establishing and data transmission, network connecting information extracting, node relative coordinate positioning, absolute coordinate converting, compute result outputting and the like. When the relative coordinate of the node is being positioned, the relation of distance, size and sequence of the shortest path distance is used for obtaining the initial estimation topology of the node position; based on the initial estimation topology, a logarithm likelihood function of optimum node distance matrix and inverse solution Euclidean distance used as initial estimation topology; subsequently, an adjacent module comparison method is used to alternatively iterate the optimum distance matrix and the Euclidean distance; the method of the invention is not dependent on the detailed measurement value of the distance, only uses the relative sequence relation of the distances between nodes and has unique advantages.
