26. A method for operating a first communications environment having a first communications standard and a second communications environment having a second communications standard, wherein resources for communications according to the first communications standard are used for communications according to the second communications standard within a common frequency range, the method comprising the steps of:
-
communicating in the first communications environment by transmitting a first frame structure in the common frequency range; and
communicating in the second communications environment by transmitting a second frame structure in the common frequency range;
wherein the first frame structure includes at least one transmission gap and at least a part of the second frame structure is transmitted during the at least one transmission gap. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)

39. A communications system, comprising:
-
a first communications environment having a first communications standard;
a second communications environment having a second communications standard; and
a common frequency range for communications in the first and second communications environments;
wherein the communications system is adapted to utilize, for communications in the common frequency range, resources for communications according to the first communications standard for communications according to the second communications standard;
the first communications environment comprising at least one first communications unit for transmitting a first frame structure in the common frequency range; and
,the second communications environment comprising at least one second communications unit for transmitting a second frame structure in the common frequency range;
wherein the first fame structure includes at least one transmission gap; and
,wherein the second communications unit transmits the second frame structure such that at least a part of the second frame structure is transmitted during the at least one transmission gap. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41, 42)
