Abstract
A method includes: performing a scan to discover at least one Peer to Peer (P2P) group; sharing a result of the scan within a first P2P group; preparing a switching schedule of the first P2P group based on the shared result; wherein the switching schedule enables a switching device to disconnect from a first owner device in the first P2P group and to connect with a second owner device in a second P2P group; sharing an information with the second P2P group by using the switching device; and performing communication among the first P2P group and the second P2P group on the basis of the information.
