    In Ad Hoc networks, communication between a pair of hosts uses channel resources, such that the channel cannot be used by the neighboring hosts. A channel used by one pair of hosts can be reused by another pair of hosts only if their communication ranges do not overlap. Channels are limited resources, accounting for why exploiting channel reuse opportunities and enhancing the channel utilization is essential to increasing system capacity. However, exploiting channel reuse opportunities may cause a co-channel interference problem. Two pairs of communicating hosts that use the same channel may gradually move toward to each other. A channel reassignment operation must be applied to these hosts to maintain their communication. This investigation presents a channel assignment protocol that enables the channel resources to be highly utilized. Following this protocol, a channel reassignment protocol is also proposed to protect the communicating hosts from co-channel interference caused by mobility. The proposed reassignment protocol efficiently reassigns a new available channel to a pair of hosts that suffers from co-channel interference. The performance of the proposed protocols is also examined. Experimental results reveal that the proposed protocols enable more hosts to communicate simultaneously and prevent their communication from failing.
