Abstract
One embodiment disclosed in the present description relates to a coexistence manager which can adaptively select channels in a coexistence environment between disparate systems with channel use constraints that inherently exist with use of TVWS. Accordingly, the embodiment disclosed in the present description provides a resource allocation method for a manager device, comprising the steps of: receiving a channel allocation request from a first network or device; determining a second network or device for switching channels based on the benefits of each channel or device, if a channel cannot be assigned to the first network or device; switching the channel used by the second network or device to another channel and raising its priority; and assigning the channel used by the second network or device to the first network or device.
