A method of configuring devices of a communication system such as a personal area network, wherein each device has one or more possible communication links to directly communicate with another device, the method comprising: selecting an initial interconnection scheme having at least one alternative interconnection scheme, the initial scheme defining an initial configuration comprising, for each pair of devices, a communication link selected from among said possible communication links between the devices of the pair; determining, based on the initial interconnection scheme, a routing path from a source device to a destination device; wherein all key pairs of conflicting (interfering) links of an alternative configuration defined by the alternative interconnection scheme are also comprised in the initial configuration (a key pair being a pair of conflicting links, one of which is on the routing path). The method also comprises configuring the plurality of devices according to the initial configuration; and in case a communication link of the initial configuration becomes defective, reconfiguring the plurality of devices according to the alternative configuration while keeping the same determined routing path to transmit data from the source device to the destination device. The invention allows management of link deficiencies without re-computing the routing path and without the risk of new conflicts arising from the reconfiguration. |
