ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for assigning timeslot numbers to timeslots used for transmission and reception of signals between nodes in a network (1) of nodes (A–H). Each node (A–H) is able to communicate with at least one other node (A–H) by a transmission link (2) between said each node (A–H) and said at least one other node (A–H). At least some of the nodes (A–H) have a respective transmission link (2) to each of plural other nodes (A–H). Each transmission of a signal over a link (2) from a first node (A–H) to a second node (A–H) takes place during a timeslot. The method includes the steps of assigning timeslot numbers to each timeslot in sequence in ascending order of the number of available choices of timeslot number at each timeslot.
