A unique method and apparatus determines (310) which channels in a wireless communication system are both authorized for cordless operation and available. A channel is then selectively chosen (328) from this list to reduce the probability that an interferer will be on the chosen channel. For example, the channel could be randomly selected from all available channels or randomly selected from a limited group of available channels to avoid co-channel interference. Alternatively, the channel could be chosen based upon the level of the signal that last caused that channel to be blocked. Finally, the channel could be chosen based upon the number of channels from an available channel to the nearest blocked channel.
