Abstract
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for efficient channel use is disclosed. The channel use method may comprise the steps of: selecting a specific channel from channels configured to be shared along with a homogeneous or heterogeneous communication scheme; and performing an interference avoidance procedure if the selected channel interferes with a neighboring access point. The avoidance procedure may comprise one or more of a process of making a request to switch a channel of the neighboring access point, a process of notifying to the neighboring access point, and a process of changing the selected channel into another channel.
