Abstract
Method and apparatus for automatically reconfiguring a wireless communication network provides for receiving information from at least one node indicating a change in the network and automatically reconfiguring the network based on the received information. In another embodiment, a method for automatically reconfiguring a wireless communication network, including at least one node that includes wireless infrastructure resources, includes determining availability of a resource at a node operating in the network and automatically configuring the network based on the availability of the resource such that the network operates properly and/or efficiently.
