Abstract
Due to interference that typically occurs in the ISM band, it may be necessary for one or more network devices to switch to an alternative channel. A list of one or more alternate network channels may be generated by a coordinating/gateway device based on the energy level and a distance from a primary network channel. The alternate network channel list may be distributed to neighbor devices and, in the event of interference, link loss, and/or a channel switch notification, the neighbor devices may automatically switch to the first alternate network channel in the list.
