Claim:
A method of channel negotiation between neighbor base stations (BSs), comprising: obtaining, by a first BS, channel information of all second BSs which are neighbor BSs of the first BS in response to the first BS starts; selecting, by the first BS, a channel in a network as a first working channel of the first BS; negotiating, by the first BS, with all third BSs to switch channel, wherein the third BSs refer to BSs which occupy the first working channel in all the second BSs; and occupying, by the first BS, the first working channel if all the third BSs have switched a working channel of the third BS to a target channel, wherein the target channel is a channel excluding the first working channel; and instructing, by the first BS, the third BSs that have switched to switch back to the original working channel and selecting, by the first BS, another channel excluding the first working channel in the network to re-perform negotiation with all the third BSs if at least one of the third BSs fails to switch the working channel of the third BS to a target channel.
