Abstract
A method for determining the configuration of a set of nodes and/or links of a cluster possessing a cluster head comprises: triggering an information request by interrogating one or more nodes or links and asking the said nodes or the said links to evaluate for each communication channel an index of communication quality, and then selecting a configuration when the cluster head has received the indices of communication quality; verifying whether the indices of quality received comply with a given constraint, retaining the indices which satisfy the largest number of nodes or links, and triggering a configuration selection procedure; if the configuration retained satisfies the set of nodes or links interrogated, then updating the list of channels and communicating this configuration to the nodes or links of the cluster; if not, updating the list of communication channels, or remaining in the initial configuration of the set of nodes or links.
