A　novel　quantum　multi-hop　communication　scheme　is　proposed　based　on　multi-qubit　Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger　(GHZ)　states　and　Bell　states.　We　first　propose　a　method　where　a　GHZ　state　of　arbitrary　scale　is　generated　efficiently　by　combining　small-scale　GHZ　states　via　Bell-state　measurements　in　a　distributed　manner.　Based　on　this,　we　present　an　efficient　and　economical　multi-hop　quantum　communication　protocol.　Finally,　our　scheme　is　compared　with　existing　quantum　multi-hop　communication　schemes　in　terms　of　communication　efficiency.
