The present invention relates to a method of selecting of a path to establish a communication link between a first node and one of a plurality of access points of a wireless cellular telecommunication system, the wireless cellular telecommunication system having second nodes being adapted to serve as relay nodes. The method comprises the steps of receiving of data from at least one of the second nodes, the data being indicative of a first quality measure of a first path from the one of the second nodes to its access point, comparing of a second quality measure of a second path from the first node to its access point with the first quality measure, selecting of the first path to replace the second path if the first quality measure is superior to the second quality measure.
