Abstract
A method and apparatus for association in a mesh network may be disclosed. A method in a new node may include performing a discovery procedure with a plurality of peer nodes in the mesh network, initiating a temporary association procedure with each peer node, selecting a set of peer nodes from the plurality of peer nodes based on a selection algorithm at least based on a signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) with each peer node and an interference impact of each peer node, and performing a final association with the selected set of peer nodes.
