Disclosed herein is a multi-hop communication method based on distributed medium access control. In the multi-hop communication method based on distributed medium access control according to the present invention, a beacon frame which includes a first multi-hop information element is generated and transmitted to a neighboring device so as to search for a route to an external device which does not belong to a beacon group. A third multi-hop information element, which is generated based on a second multi-hop information element generated by the external device, is received from the neighboring device. A multi-hop route to the external device is set up in accordance with the third multi-hop information element, and data is transmitted to the external device. Therefore, a multi-hop route between devices in the extended beacon group can be efficiently set up. |
