RECONFIGURATION IN A WIRELESS MESH NETWORK

摘要

There is provided mechanisms for reconfiguration in a wireless mesh network served by at least one network node. A method is performed by a first network device having a first metric. The method comprises maintaining an operative connection to a network node via a second network device, the second network device having a better metric than the first metric. The method comprises acquiring an indication that the first network device is to be detached from the operative connection to the network node. The method comprises scanning for, and establishing an operative connection to, a further second network device having a metric, for establishing a new operative connection to one of the at least one network node. The method comprises updating the first metric based on the metric of the further second network device.
