A method performed by a first communication node in communication with a second communication node for performing one of transmission and reception to or from, respectively, a third communication node, the second communication node being a receiver or transmitter of data from or to the first communication node in a frame, the frame comprising at least one first set of time-frequency resources, and a second set of time-frequency resources, the at least one first set of time-frequency resources being reserved for communication of control information, and the second set of time-frequency resources being reserved for communication of at least data information, wherein the first communication node, the second communication node, and the third communication node are operating in a communications network, the method comprising: determining that a third set of time-frequency resources is to be used for communication of information with the third communication node, wherein the information is one of: the control information, the data information, and one or more signals related to one or more measurement procedures; determining a direction of communication in the third set of time-frequency resources, the direction of communication being one of transmission and reception, wherein the direction of communication in the third set of time-frequency resources is based on the information to be communicated, wherein the information to be communicated is the one or more signals related to the one or more measurement procedures, and the direction of communication is opposite to a direction of communication in the second set of time-frequency resources, wherein the direction of communication in the second set of time-frequency resources is one of transmission and reception, and wherein the third set of time-frequency resources corresponds to a subset of the second set of time-frequency resources; interrupting data communication in the subset of the second set of time-frequency resources to perform the one or more measurement procedures, the one or more measurement procedures being performed the on one or more signals to or from the third communication node; and performing one of transmission and reception to or from, respectively, the third communication node in the determined direction of communication, the performing of the one of transmission and reception being in the third set of time-frequency resources determined to be used for the communication of information with the third communication node. determining that a third set of time-frequency resources is to be used for communication of information with the third communication node, wherein the information is one of: the control information, the data information, and one or more signals related to one or more measurement procedures; determining a direction of communication in the third set of time-frequency resources, the direction of communication being one of transmission and reception, wherein the direction of communication in the third set of time-frequency resources is based on the information to be communicated, wherein the information to be communicated is the one or more signals related to the one or more measurement procedures, and the direction of communication is opposite to a direction of communication in the second set of time-frequency resources, wherein the direction of communication in the second set of time-frequency resources is one of transmission and reception, and wherein the third set of time-frequency resources corresponds to a subset of the second set of time-frequency resources; interrupting data communication in the subset of the second set of time-frequency resources to perform the one or more measurement procedures, the one or more measurement procedures being performed the on one or more signals to or from the third communication node; and performing one of transmission and reception to or from, respectively, the third communication node in the determined direction of communication, the performing of the one of transmission and reception being in the third set of time-frequency resources determined to be used for the communication of information with the third communication node.
