Proximity awareness network communication method

The invention provides a proximity awareness network communication method which can expand the service range of proximity awareness network communication. One of the methods includes announcing publication of a service by a first proximity aware network (NAN) device; receiving a subscription for the service from the second NAN device; establishing a data path from the first NAN device to the second NAN device through one or more intermediate NAN devices; and transmitting data of the service from the first NAN device to the second NAN device through the data path. 本发明提供邻近感知网络通信方法，可扩展邻近感知网络通信的服务范围。其中一种方法包括：通告第一邻近感知网络(NAN)设备对服务的发布；从第二NAN设备接收对该服务的订阅；通过一个或多个中间NAN设备建立从该第一NAN设备到该第二NAN设备的数据路径；和通过该数据路径将该服务的数据从该第一NAN设备发送到该第二NAN设备。
