Network nodes and methods thereof
First Claim
1. A first network node for a wireless communication system, the first network node comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive a network information message from a second network node, wherein the network information message indicates a set of third network nodes configurable to use a shared communication channel for wireless communication, and wherein the second network node is configured to use the shared communication channel for wireless communication; and
a processor configured to determine, for the second network node, a first channel access time interval for accessing the shared communication channel based on the network information message;
wherein the transceiver further is configured to transmit a first network control message to the second network node, the first network control message indicating the first channel access time interval for accessing the shared communication channel.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a first network node. The first network node comprises a transceiver configured to receive a network information message from a second network node configured to use a shared communication channel for wireless communication, the network information message indicating a set of third network nodes configurable (or contending) to use the shared communication channel for wireless communication; a processor configured to determine, for the second network node, at least one first channel access time interval for accessing the shared communication channel based on the network information message; wherein the transceiver further is configured to transmit a first network control message to the second network node, the first network control message indicating the first channel access time interval for accessing the shared communication channel. Furthermore, the present disclosure also relates to corresponding method, a wireless communication system, a computer program, and a computer program product.
