1. A managing method for managing the connection of a user equipment item to a distributed wireless communication network, said distributed wireless communication network comprising a root node, a plurality of access nodes each able to set up a wireless connection with the user equipment item, and a backhaul network for conveying data between the root node and the access nodes, the managing method comprising the following steps:
a) sorting the access nodes into different groups as a function of a primary indicator representative of a quality of connection of each access node to the root node, each group containing access nodes having primary indicators included in a characteristic interval associated with the group and distinct from the characteristic interval associated with each other group,
b) selecting a first selected group from among said groups, and
for at least one candidate access node included in the first selected group:
c) determining a secondary indicator associated with said candidate access node, said secondary indicator being representative of a quality of connection of the user equipment item to the access node,
d) comparing the secondary indicator to a threshold, and
if the secondary indicator is less than or equal to the threshold:
e) designating the candidate access node for the connection of the user equipment item to the distributed wireless communication network,
if, for each access node included in the first selected group, the secondary indicator is strictly greater than the threshold:
f) repeating steps b) to e) with a second selected group containing access nodes having a quality of connection to the root node which is lower than the quality of connection to the root node of the access nodes of the first selected group.
