Wireless nodes 401-405 are interconnected by links 451-460 in a wireless network 450. Data is transmitted from a source node to a plurality of destination nodes. Each node comprises a communication antenna. A manager node 401 determines (S730, figure 6) transmission paths from the source node to the plurality of destination nodes, on the basis of a transmission capacity of the links. The manager node then determines (S740, figures 6, 9) a communication tree from the determined transmission paths, on the basis of respective capabilities of the wireless nodes to control a form of a beam of their respective communication smart antennas (S1030, S1050, figure 9). The manager node then configures (S750, figure 6) the wireless nodes for setting up the communication tree for the data transmission. By taking into account the capability of the wireless nodes to control the form of the beam of their antenna when determining the communication tree to set up for the data transmission, the risks of interference are reduced. |
