Automatic　nodes　location　is　a　key　supporting　technology　in　WSN,　and　gains　much　more　attention　with　the　development　of　the　modern　network　technology　and　wireless　communication　technology.　In　this　paper,　a　novel　locating　method　based　on　correlation　analysis　is　presented.　First,　in　order　to　get　the　accurate　and　valid　data,　the　normalization　procedure　is　applied　on　the　original　wireless　information.　Then,　the　statistical　histogram,　which　can　decrease　the　dimension　and　weaken　the　effect　of　abnormal　values　for　the　normalized　data,　is　adopted　to　summarize　the　detailed　information　and　to　represent　the　signal　information.　Finally,　a　novel　nodes　location　method　based　on　correlation　analysis　is　proposed　to　evaluate　the　positions　of　the　unknown　nodes.　The　experiments　tested　on　the　public　Intel　Lab　Data　demonstrate　the　feasibility　and　validity　of　the　proposed　locating　method　for　WSN.
