Abstract
An apparatus and a method for allocating a channel capable of minimizing interference between channels in a node on an Ad-hoc network using a plurality of wireless interfaces for communication are provided. The apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives information on channel allocation from neighboring nodes, a channel search unit that searches for channels through which the node can communicate with all the neighboring nodes with reference to the received information on channel allocation, and a channel allocation unit that allocates a channel to the wireless interfaces based on the result of the search, so that it is possible to improve efficiency of network bandwidth usage and decrease interference of the channels.
