Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) systems are widely implemented to provide hot spot coverage. Operated typically in an infrastructure mode, each WLAN is managed by an Access Point (AP). Wireless mesh networks are employed for the purpose of extending the wireless coverage scope of the network. This paper presents a scalable and fully distributed algorithm that serves to autonomously elect certain Access Points as Backbone nodes to construct a connected mesh backbone network. The paper assumes that multiple communications bands are used and that some nodal platforms are outfitted with multiple radio modules.
