There is provided a method (700, 900) of selecting nodes (120, 130, 140) in a communication network (100), in which a source node (110) communicates with destination nodes (120, 130, 140). The method (700, 900) includes steps of: (a) transmitting a first message (770, 950) from the source node (100) to the destination nodes (120, 130, 140); (b) receiving response messages (780, 960, 980, 990) at the source node (110) from one or more of the destination nodes (120, 130, 140); (c) in an event of contention arising between the response messages (780, 960, 980, 990) received at the source node (110), iteratively selecting a sub-set (510, 520, 610, 620) of the destination nodes (120, 130, 140) to resend their response messages for receipt at the source node (110) until the response messages are received at the source node (110) without contention, the response messages received without contention being indicative of a suitable destination node having been selected. The method is executable in a communication network (100) for rendering the network (100) more reliable with enhanced quality-of-service (QoS).
