Abstract
A decentralised method is disclosed of deciding a common configuration parameter in a network. The network comprises at least one node designated to perform the method. In the method, a designated node makes a local decision relating to the configuration parameter in dependence upon information relating to its local operating environment (M). The designated node sends its local decision to other designated nodes, if any, and receives corresponding local decisions made by other designated nodes, if any (M). Following such receipt, the designated node makes a common decision relating to the configuration parameter in dependence upon its local decision and the received local decisions (M). The common decision is made using a decision algorithm common to the designated nodes.
