Method and entity for transmitting in a communications system
First Claim
1. A method performed in an entity for transmitting in a communications system, the method comprising:
- assessing a channel to be available for transmission by establishing an on-going transmission to have a received signal strength such as to allow simultaneous transmission in view of a first clear channel assessment threshold;
establishing type of transmission of the on-going transmission; and
determining, based on the established type of transmission, whether to transmit or to defer transmitting.

Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method (50) performed in an entity (11, 12) for transmitting in a communications system (10). The method (50) comprises assessing (51) a channel to be available for transmission by establishing an on-going transmission to have a received signal strength such as to allow simultaneous 5 transmission in view of a first clear channel assessment threshold; establishing (52) type of transmission of the on-going transmission; and determining (53), based on the established type of transmission, whether to transmit or to defer transmitting. A corresponding entity (11, 12), computer programs and computer program products are also provided. 10

10. An entity for transmitting in a communications system, the entity comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the entity is configured to; assess a channel to be available for transmission by establishing an on-going transmission to have a received signal strength such as to allow simultaneous transmission in view of a first clear channel assessment threshold, establish type of transmission of the on-going transmission, and determine, based on the established type of transmission, whether to transmit or to defer transmitting. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for transmitting in a communications system, the method comprising:
-
storing in a transmit buffer a frame to be transmitted over a channel; after storing the frame in the transmit buffer and before transmitting the frame over the channel, detecting a transmission on the channel and determining a type associated with the detected transmission; determining that the determined type matches a particular transmission type; and based at least in part on the determined type, delaying transmission of the frame regardless of whether or not the signal strength of the detected transmission is less than a first clear channel assessment threshold. - View Dependent Claims (19)
