Original Abstract Submitted
A channel allocation method for a communication device to perform in a wireless personal area network (WPAN) following IEEE 802.15 or SIG protocol, and the communication device is able to operate across a plurality of frequency bands. The channel allocation method includes the following steps. A working frequency band within the plurality of frequency bands is determined, the working frequency band includes at least one clean channel and other channels. One of the at least one clean channel is selected to operate in the WPAN, by the communication device. The at least one clean channel is not used by another communication device in a wireless local area network (WLAN) following IEEE 802.11 protocol.
