Abstract

A method, for a distributed wireless communication network, for managing the connection of a client node to a first gathering node is provided. A quality indicator presenting a quality of the connection is determined. If the quality indicator indicates a poor quality, then: to each gathering node of the network, a command to collect quality data is sent, messages comprising the quality data are received, for each gathering node, a quality indicator is determined, and a second gathering node according to the quality indicators determined is selected. If the second gathering node is different from the first gathering node, then to each gathering node, except for the second gathering node, a command to refuse association with the client node is sent.
