摘要

A deadlocked state in which each communication station cannot recognize mutual existence is evaded to form a self-organized distribution type multi-channel wireless network. In some interference situations, a beacon transmission channel selected on a self criterion is not always a receivable channel for all of neighbor communication stations. A communication station receiving interference from another system periodically transmits an interference annunciation signal (IAS) through all channels under no interference, and informs the neighbor stations of the existence and the channel under interference. Thereby, transmission of a beacon is restrained through the channel under interference up to a beacon-unhearable degree.
