Abstract
A station of a mesh network comprising a peer table which is configured to list neighboring peers within the mesh network. Each peer comprises a qualification grade and the station comprises a controller which is configured to detect a new peer entering the mesh network and to establish a peer connection with the new peer. The controller is also configured to add the new peer to the peer table and to determine if the peer table is full when the new peer has been added. The controller is further configured to compare the qualification grades of the neighboring peers in the peer table if the peer table is full, and to remove a peer having a high qualification grade in relation to the neighboring peers in the peer table.
