<p>This invention relates to a method for dynamically electing the controller or Master among an assembly of computers or stations in condition of reciprocal electromagnetic visibility, or 'cluster', said cluster belonging to a radio communication wireless local area network or WLAN, said cluster comprising no more than one station operating as Master at each time at least one station of the cluster is actively connected to the network,the other stations operating as dependant or Slave, such method comprising a procedure for electing the Master among all stations of the cluster actively connected to the network, characterised in that said election procedure designates as Master the station having the best connection quality, as a function of one or more rules based upon one or more quality figures depending on at least one physical layer measurement related to the quality of all radio channels existing between the actively connected stations of the cluster. The invention also relates to the instruments needed to perform the method and to the apparatuses performing the method.</p> |
