A method for forwarding data in forwarding networks includes: acquiring a signal transmitted from a source node to a target node in the forwarding network; selecting an antenna which is closest to the target node or a subordinate forwarding node, according to a corresponding relationship between antennas and nodes in coverage areas of the antennas; sending the signal to the antenna selected through wire transmission media; and transmitting the signal by the antenna selected. An apparatus for forwarding data and a forwarding network are disclosed as well.
