ABSTRACT
Due to the anisotropic network, the distribution of nodes is completely random, network topology is not uniform, through the centroid algorithm there are some errors between estimated position and actual position of nodes, "cluster effect" error is prone to made in the positioning process. In order to overcome the positioning error resulting, a modified centroid algorithm is proposed that adds the stage of a correction of node estimated position on the basis of the traditional centroid algorithm positioning completion.
