Claims29
A channel allocation method comprising:
- determining a communication device type from a plurality of communication device types based on information received from neighboring communication devices;
- allocating a channel according to the communication device type;
- and
- transmitting the communication device type and information about the allocated channel to the neighboring communication devices.
A computer-readable medium of instructions for controlling a type determination unit, a channel allocation unit, and a transmitting/receiving unit, comprising:
- a first set of instructions for controlling the type determination unit to determine a communication device type from a plurality of communication device types based on information received from neighboring communication devices;
- a second set of instructions for controlling the channel allocation unit to allocate a channel according to the communication device type;
- and
- a third set of instructions for controlling the transmitting/receiving unit to transmit the communication device type and information about the allocated channel to the neighboring communication devices.
A communication device comprising:
- a type determination unit determining a communication device type from a plurality of communication device types based on information received from neighboring communication devices;
- a channel allocation unit allocating a channel according to the determined communication device type;
- and
- a transmitting/receiving unit transmitting information about the determined communication device type and the allocated channel to the neighboring communication devices.
