Method and entity for transmitting in a communications system

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program for handling transmissions, the computer program comprising computer program code, which, when executed on at least one processor of an entity causes the entity to:

• detect a transmission on a channel;
• determine a signal strength of the detected transmission;
• determine a transmission type for the detected transmission;
• and
• based on the determined transmission type for the detected transmission and the determined signal strength of the detected transmission, delay a transmission of a frame on the channel regardless of whether or not the determined signal strength of the detected transmission is less than a first clear channel assessment threshold.

An entity for transmitting in a communications system, the entity comprising:

• a receiver;
• a transmitter;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the entity is configured to:
• employ the receiver to detect a transmission on a channel;
• determine a signal strength of the detected transmission;
• determine a transmission type for the detected transmission;
• and
• based on the determined transmission type for the detected transmission and the determined signal strength of the detected transmission, delay a transmission of a frame on the channel regardless of whether or not the determined signal strength of the detected transmission is less than a first clear channel assessment threshold.
