The invention discloses a wireless sensor network positioning method based on based on overlapped domain gravity center of anchor balls in a three-dimensional space, which is characterized by comprising the following steps of: 1, extracting position information; 2, increasing the radius of an initial ball according to a certain rule, enabling an unknown node to be contained in the ball, wherein the kind of balls are named as domain anchor balls, and a series of domain anchor balls containing the unknown node can be found by taking different anchor nodes as ball centers; 3, respectively projecting all anchor nodes, the unknown node and the domain anchor balls in the space to an XOY plane and a YOZ plane; 4, solving an intersecting circuit region containing the unknown node; and 5, solving gravity center coordinates of the intersecting circuit region as estimating coordinates of the unknown node. According to the invention, the three-dimensional space positioning problem is transformed into positioning in a two-dimensional plane, the complexity of the method is simplified, the calculated amount of the method is reduced at the same time, and a favorable effect under the condition that the node energy of a sensor is limited is achieved.
