A method of and a system for identifying association of a backhaul unit to a node device connected to the backhaul unit in a network

Abstract

A method of identifying association of a backhaul unit to a node device connected to the backhaul unit in a network is disclosed. The network comprises a plurality of backhaul units each arranged for connecting to a node device and for providing network connection to the node device. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining a data consumption pattern related to a node device over a time period; obtaining data consumption patterns of the plurality of backhaul units over the same time period; matching the data consumption pattern of the node device to one of the data consumption patterns of the plurality of backhaul units; and identifying association of the node device to a backhaul unit having the matched data consumption pattern.
