Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 6:
7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the master node device estimates the gain or the loss in using the target second communication channel t in place of the first communication channel c for the whole of the backhaul network, by means of a cost function as follows:, Δ
   
    c
    →
    t
   
  
  =
  
   
    
     ∑
     k
    
    
     
      γ
      k
     
     ⁢
     
      
       δ
       
        c
        →
        t
       
      
      (
      k
      )
     
    
   
   =
   
    
     ∑
     k
    
    
     
      γ
      k
     
     (
     
      
       
        s
        r
       
       (
       k
       )
      
      -
      
       
        s
        c
       
       (
       k
       )
      
     
     )
    
   
  
 

where γk are weighting coefficients defined in order to take into account the type of traffic taking place on the first communication channel c, as reported by each node device k of the backhaul network.
