Method for selecting a relay device from a plurality of relay devices in a network, comprising the following steps: obtaining from each relay device of said plurality of relay devices a number of parameters associated with the relay device; calculating for each relay device of the plurality of relay devices an indication of the suitability of the relay device based on the obtained number of parameters; selecting a relay device to be used based on the calculated indications. Possible parameters relate to data rate, bit error rate, power needed to handle a data rate, relay device type, service priority, and application. The relay nodes 10 report their parameters to a master node 11 having a calculationa and selectin module 15 which calculates an indication for each relay device and broadcasts the selection result. The network is preferably a home network using powerliine communications. |
