Abstract: A radio access node comprises one or more processors configured to determine a first reference timing of a first communication connection between the radio access node and a second, parent radio access node; determine a second reference timing of a second communication connection between the radio access node and a third, child radio access node; a memory storing the first and second reference timings; the one or more processors further configured to generate a request for the child radio access node to perform a timing advance adjustment based on the stored first and second reference timings, so that an uplink receive signal transmitted by the child radio access node arrives at the same time at the radio access node as a downlink receive signal transmitted by the parent radio access node arrives at the radio access node in case of frequency division multiplexed signals.
