METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISCOVERING NEIGHBOR NODES IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

A method for processing a first node to configure a neighbor network in a wireless communication system including the first node and one or more second nodes neighboring the first node. The method includes generating discovery information; and broadcasting the generated discovery information to one or more of the second nodes. The discovery information includes information of the first node, an indicator indicating whether to receive the discovery information and accept the relay of the received discovery information to other nodes, and a hop limit indicating the number of available relays of the discovery information. A value of the indicator is set through an input of a user.
