The invention relates to a protection system, configured for switching between backhaul technologies for upholding a communication in a wireless backhaul network, to a main node, to a dependent node, and to a method for switching between backhaul technologies for upholding a communication. The protection system (5) comprises a main node (1) and a dependent node (2), wherein the main node (1) and the dependent node (2) are configured for communicating with each other via a backhaul channel (3), and a switching unit (4) configured for selecting a backhaul technology for a communication via the backhaul channel (3), wherein at least one of the main node (1) and the dependent node (2) are further configured for measuring a quality parameter of the backhaul channel (3), wherein the switching unit (4) is further configured for switching the backhaul technology selected for the communication via the backhaul channel (3) to a predefined backhaul technology dependent on the quality parameter measured. In this way, the availability of a wireless backhaul network is increased and, hence, the outage probability of backhauling decreased in connection with providing a more robust backhauling. |
