In a wireless communication environment provided with a plurality of channels, a suitable ad hoc network is formed without mutual interference between communication stations. Each communication station acquires an average level of interference that a neighbor station receives for every channel, and a channel with the lowest average interference level is determined as a transmission channel. By weighting the interference of the neighbor station with a high priority for the local station, such as a destination station to which a large amount of packets is transmitted from the local station, to obtain a weighted average for each channel, a channel with less interference for a prioritized neighbor station for the local station is selected as the transmission channel. As a result, throughput of the entire system is improved.
