- Abstract
- A channel switching method is provided for a base station to allocate a slot for data exchange with each of a plurality of terminals in a frequency channel that is not used by an incumbent user (IU). The method includes include transmitting a channel switching message for requesting to switch to a backup channel when a signal of the IU is sensed in the frequency channel; transmitting a beacon frame via the backup channel, wherein the beacon frame comprises allocation information about slots which are in the frequency channel and which are respectively allocated to each of the plurality of terminals; and allocating the slot for data exchange with each of the plurality of terminals to the backup channel according to the allocation information, and communicating with each of the plurality of terminals.
