Abstract
The invention relates to a wireless communication system (100), comprising a plurality of radio nodes, each being able to operate at least as a router node (104) or as a non-router node (104). Each of the plurality of radio nodes is configured to: detect density of the router nodes (104) within its neighbourhood, and make a decision based on the detected density whether to operate as a router node (104) or as a non-router node (106). The invention relates also to a role selection method and a radio node device (104, 106, 500) for the wireless communication system (100).
