1. An apparatus in a communication system, comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code,the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform;
control the communication of a transceiver on shared data channels using a data channel slot comprising a sensing period and a data period;
control a transceiver to communicate on common and dedicated control channels on a shared spectrum using control channel slots, each control channel slot comprising a downlink part and an uplink part, wherein the uplink part occurs at the same time as the sensing period of a data channel slot.
