Abstract

There are provided an adaptive collision avoidance apparatus and a method in a channel-hopping based wireless AD-HOC networks. The adaptive collision avoidance apparatus is configured to include a channel quality measuring unit that measures the quality of each channel by using receiving frames; an unavailable channel classifying unit that classifies unavailable channels not to perform communications in the future based on information on the quality of each channel; an unavailable channel propagating unit that transfers a list of unavailable channels classified as unavailable channels to adjacent nodes; and a transceiver that transmits and receives frames through channels not classified as the unavailable channels.
