The invention belongs to the technical field of computer application and relates to a
complex network communication source point positioning method based on time stratification. The method can solve the problem that positioning accuracy is low because the number of observation nodes in a large-scale
complex network is small, can achieve high observation accuracy by means of a small number of observation nodes, and accordingly can effectively position
communication source points at low cost. On the premise that the communication states of only a small number of nodes in the network are monitored,
communication source nodes can be accurately positioned. Compared with similar methods, the method has higher positioning accuracy on the premise that the proportion of the observation nodes is unchanged in experiment tests of global
aviation networks and BA and ER model networks.
