A method is disclosed for assigning timeslot numbers to timeslots used for transmission and reception of signals between nodes in a network () of nodes (A&#x2013;H). Each node (A&#x2013;H) is able to communicate with at least one other node (A&#x2013;H) by a transmission link () between said each node (A&#x2013;H) and said at least one other node (A&#x2013;H). At least some of the nodes (A&#x2013;H) have a respective transmission link () to each of plural other nodes (A&#x2013;H). Each transmission of a signal over a link () from a first node (A&#x2013;H) to a second node (A&#x2013;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.
