Abstract

In order to effectively avoid cochannel interferences in a multi-station communications system utilizing a plurality of channels in common, the order of transmission channels to be used is determined utilizing a transmission priority assigned to each channel. The subject matter is characterized in that (a) the transmission priority of a selected channel is raised if the selected channel is not used at another station, and (b) is lowered if the selected channel is used at another station. This means that the past use records of the transmission channels are accumulated so that a good channel can be selected with high probability. In other words, a transmission channel with high priority is still ready to be used even if it was not selected in the preceding selection.
