Claim 16:
17. The access node of claim 16, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the access node at least to further perform:
determining a first propagation delay tPD1 over the communication line of said first set,
determining a second propagation delay tPD2 over the communication line of said second set,
determining a time gap tg2_TDD for separating an end of a downstream sub-frame transmitted onto the communication line of said second set and a beginning of a subsequent upstream sub-frame received from the communication line of said second set, such that
a FDX frame comprises a first FDX sub-frame and a second FDX sub-frame, the first FDX sub-frame comprising a first number of symbols with the first structure, the second FDX sub-frame comprises a second number of symbols with the first structure; and
a TDD frame comprises a downstream sub-frame and an upstream sub-frame, the downstream sub-frame comprising the first number of symbols with the second structure, the upstream sub-frame comprising the second number of symbols with the second structure.
