A method and apparatus is provided for determining which of a plurality of backhaul methods is assigned to a portion of a wireless communication by monitoring at least one quality metric relating to the communication. Then, a backhaul method is assigned according to a predetermined function of the quality metric(s) for at least a portion of the wireless communication from a plurality of available backhaul methods. The quality metric may include any of a variety of indicators, and a default backhaul method may be applied to portions of the wireless communication. These embodiments may be implemented through the use of a wireless communication node including a processor circuit operably coupled to a quality metric sensor and a receiving circuit such that the processor circuit may determine which of the plurality of backhaul pathways should be used to transmit data.
