1. A method of operating a communication system comprising a number of devices suited for wireless communication, the method comprising:

  • providing at least a number of infrastructure nodes and number of leaf nodes, the leaf nodes adapted to exchange messages with the infrastructure nodes, the infrastructure nodes being adapted to exchange messages with leaf nodes and infrastructure nodes; and

    configuring a leaf node to associate with at least two infrastructure nodes and send a data packet to each of the two infrastructure nodes simultaneously via a first transmission, wherein each associated infrastructure node for the leaf node, if the first transmission is received, determines whether the leaf node is an associated leaf node and, if so, directs the data packet toward a destination.
