Abstract
A method for selecting one channel from a plurality of channels in a wireless network system is disclosed. The channels include at least one in-use channel, a first idle channel, and a second idle channel. The method includes comparing the frequency band of the in-use channel with the frequency band of the first idle channel and the second idle channel to determine a first reference value for the first idle channel and a second reference value for the second idle channel, and comparing the first reference value with the second reference value to select one from the first idle channel and the second idle channel.

A method for selecting one channel from a plurality of channels in a wireless network system, the channels including at least one in-use channel, a first idle channel, and a second idle channel, the method comprising:
- determining a first reference value for the first idle channel and a second reference value for the second idle channel by comparing the frequency band of the in-use channel with the frequency band of the first idle channel and the frequency band of the second idle channel;
- and
- comparing the first reference value with the second reference value to select one from the first idle channel and the second idle channel.
A method used in a wireless network system, the method comprising:
- detecting the status of a plurality of channels in the wireless network system to divide the channels into at least one in-use channel, a first idle channel, and a second idle channel;
- and
- comparing the frequency band of the in-use channel with the frequency band of the first idle channel and the second idle channel to determine a first reference value for the first idle channel and a second reference value for the second idle channel.
