PURPOSE: A channel selection method and communication method are provided to convert a communication channel by sensing wireless interference from a Zigbee sensor network. CONSTITUTION: An interference sensing process is repeated(205). When interference is sensed, a channel hopping method is executed by considering a Wi-Fi channel in a current channel. It is determined whether a channel is available(211). When the available channel is not searched, a hopping sequence interval is controlled(215). It is searched whether the channel is available. When the available channel is searched, the available channel is used for communication. [Reference numerals] (205) Interference sensed?; (AA,CC,EE,KK,HH,II,OO,PP) No; (BB,DD,FF,GG,LL,JJ,MM,NN) Yes
