Method of and base station for configuring a data transmission scheme based on data frames in a communication network

A method of configuring a data transmission scheme based on data frames (402) in a communication network is provided, wherein communication in the communication network comprises a data transmission (400) comprising downlink and uplink data transmissions (406, 407, 408, 410, 412) via first and second data transmissions paths, the first and second data transmission paths comprising respective first and second downlink data transmission paths and respective first and second uplink data transmission paths, the downlink data transmission via the second data transmission path being delayed to the downlink data transmission (407, 408) via the first downlink data transmission path, the method being executed by a base station, the method comprising configuring the data transmission scheme such that a reduction of a base station processing time associated with processing payload data of the data transmission is prevented.
