Claim 8:
9. A method for selecting a communication channel in a wireless communication network comprising a backhaul network interconnecting node devices and intended to extend a radio coverage of a wireless fronthaul network by using a plurality of access points of the wireless fronthaul network,
wherein a same first communication channel, selected by a master node device of the backhaul network, is used in the backhaul network to interconnect said node devices,
wherein the method causing a node device of the backhaul network other than the master node device to perform:
making an evaluation of transmission conditions of its radio environment,
calculating, for each communication channel available to said node device, a score representing a quality of transmission via said communication channel according to the evaluation made,
when at least one second communication channel shows a better score than the first communication channel, initiating, with said master node device, an evaluation of change of communication channel in favour of said at least one second communication channel;
awaiting a decision of the master node device to change, or not, communication channel used in the backhaul network.
