Abstract: Provided is a method of determining a node location in a cognitive radio network environment in which data is transmitted from a first node to a third node via a second node. The method includes information requesting wherein the first node transmits an information request signal to a plurality of second nodes in a preset segmented region; information receiving wherein the first node receives, from the second nodes, location information and frequency resource information for each second node corresponding to the transmitted information request signal; and segment determining wherein the first node determines one segment in the segmented region based on the received location information and frequency resource information.
