Abstract
A method and an access node for communicating in a wireless communication network, the method comprising at an access node obtaining a timing indicator; transmitting to at least one communication device a first frame sequence. The first frame sequence comprises a first portion comprising a first preamble associated with a first communication protocol, a second portion comprising a first polling frame associated with the first communication protocol, and a third portion comprising a second preamble followed by a second polling frame, the second preamble and second polling frame are associated with a second communication protocol. The third portion is multiplexed in the frequency domain with the second portion. The method further comprises providing to the at least one communication device the timing indicator for enabling the access node to control a time of reception of a first portion of a subsequent second frame sequence.
