An automatic frequency assignment method, which is capable of assigning optimum frequencies to radio ports even when the radio ports are adjacent with a shield therebetween, is provides. A plurality of radio ports around a radio port to be assigned with a frequency to sequentially transmit signals at an assignment candidate frequency. A radio port already using the same frequency as the candidate frequency measures the received signal power of these signals, and compares them with a threshold. If the result of comparison reveals that there is no radio port receiving received signal power exceeding the threshold, the assignment candidate frequency is assigned. If there is a radio port receiving the received signal power exceeding the threshold, the candidate frequency is excluded from assignment candidate frequencies. This locates a radio port covered by a shielding object, so that the same frequency is prevented from being assigned to adjacent radio ports. |
