Method for determining the position of a first sensor node relative to a second sensor node, wherein the first and the second sensor nodes are communicatively connected to each other and are part of a sensor network, comprising the steps of: receiving signal sections of transmission signals at least two transmitters through the first and the second sensor node starting at a time t Determining the angle of incidence of the transmission signals to at least one of the sensor node; Determining the distance between the sensor node from the running time differences of the signals received at the first and second sensor nodes transmit signals of the at least two transmitters; Determining determining the position of the first sensor node relative to the second sensor node of the distance between the sensor node and the angle of incidence of the transmitted signals, wherein the sensor node the time t
