Abstract
According to certain embodiments, a method in a wireless device comprises determining a mapping between one or more types of traffic and one or more classes and using the mapping to determine which of the classes to use during a procedure for determining whether the wireless device can transmit in a channel. The method further comprises performing the procedure for determining whether the wireless device can transmit in the channel.
Claims44
A method in a network node, comprising:
- determining a mapping between one or more types of traffic and one or more classes;
- and
- communicating an indicator to a wireless device, wherein the indicator indicates to use the mapping to determine which of the classes to use during a procedure for determining whether the wireless device can transmit in a channel;
- wherein the one or more classes comprises a first class that the mapping associates with a first type of traffic and a second class that the mapping associates with a second type of traffic;
- wherein the first class provides a higher likelihood of acquiring the channel than the second class;
- and
- wherein the indicator indicates to use the first class for a transmission that includes both the first type of traffic and the second type of traffic.
