Claim Text:
1. An interference avoidance-based communication apparatus, comprising: an interface to receive operating channel number information transmitted by another communication apparatus in response to an event occurring in the other communication apparatus; and a processor to verify a current use channel of the other communication apparatus based on the received operating channel information, allocate a first weighted value to a remaining channel, aside from the verified current use channel and a second weighted value to the verified current use channel, and generate channel map information for use in hop selection based on the remaining channel to which the first weighted value is allocated and the current use channel to which the second weighted value is allocated, wherein the processor allocates, to the current use channel, the second weighted value less than the first weighted value, and wherein the channel map information is adapted to avoid interference with the other communication apparatus.
