1. A network element comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive network transmissions; and
a processor coupled to the transceiver, the processor is configured to select at least one transmission resource in response to the network transmissions,select a parent network node in a wireless communication network,transmit by the transceiver a request to establish a communication with the selected parent network node using the selected transmission resource,receive permission from the parent network node to use the selected transmission resource, andestablish the communication with the parent network node using the selected transmission resource.

Abstract
In accordance with various embodiments, a system and method of distributed transmission resource management in a wireless network is disclosed. The transmission resource allocation is distributed throughout the network to all nodes. In distributed resource management, the resource allocation may be performed by child and/or remote nodes and child and/or remote nodes actively manage transmission resource allocation in the wireless network.
