Abstract  Abstract

The invention discloses a method (500) for a cellular communications system (100) in which traffic is sent in frames (200) each frame comprising a first number of subframes (201-210) with a second number of said subframes being available for at least either uplink or downlink traffic. At least one of said second number of subframes is made to comprise at least three parts (515) as follows:
• One part (520) which is utilized for uplink traffic
• One part (525) which is utilized for downlink traffic
• One part (530) which is utilized as a guard period

with said guard period part (525) being scheduled between the uplink and the downlink parts. The duration of at least two of said three parts (520 525530) may be varied to fit the current system need.
