Abstract
Systems and methods for selecting a node management device for a node of a wireless network are provided. The node can receive advertisements from two or more node management devices communicatively coupled to the node over a predetermined time period. Upon the expiration of the predetermined time period, the node can select a node management device based on the number of advertisements received from that node management device. The node can then link to the selected node management device and use that node management device for communications. The node can also continue to monitor for advertisements from the node management devices and can decide to select a different node management device based on the number of advertisements received from the other node management devices.
