1. A method for coordinating access points for backhaul aggregation in a telecommunications network, the method comprising a plurality of access points forming a cluster performing steps comprising:
a) monitoring, by an access point in said telecommunication network, network data traffic information from at least one user computing device connected thereto; and b) detecting, by said access point, at least one adjacent access point in said telecommunication network available for performing backhaul aggregation, wherein the method further comprises:
obtaining, by all of the plurality of access points in said cluster, a status profile by at least using said network data traffic information monitored in step a) and by using information regarding said detected adjacent access points found in step b);reporting, by all of the plurality of access points in said cluster, an own identifier to a remote server;obtaining, by said remote server, by said reporting, a record including a corresponding identifier of each of the plurality of access points in said cluster;building, by all of the plurality of access points in said cluster, by said obtaining, a list of access points available for performing backhaul aggregation;establishing connections between available access points forming sub-clusters of access points; andone of said access point acting as a cluster coordinator coordinating said formed sub-clusters of access points for a backhaul aggregation, andwherein each of said sub-clusters comprises a sub-cluster coordinator, said sub-cluster coordinator being designated by a voting process performed by the plurality of access points of said sub-cluster, and said cluster coordinator being a most voted of said sub-cluster coordinators. |
