Transceivers and methods for operating the same

A transceiver configured for communicating in a wireless communication network being operated so as to schedule communication in a communication channel being organized in a plurality of resources arranged in a time-frequency grid;

• wherein the transceiver is configured for estimating a usability of resources of the channel for an own transmission based on performing long-term sensing of an utilization of the channel by decoding a control data transmitted in the channel and/or by performing power sensing of the channel;
• and
• performing transmissions based on the usability of a/the determined set of resources.

A transceiver configured for communicating in a wireless communication network being operated so as to schedule communication in a communication channel being organized in a plurality of resources arranged in a time-frequency grid;

• wherein the transceiver is configured for estimating, from an utilization of the channel, an amount of frequency resources available in a future resource and for selecting a future resource from a plurality of future resources based on the estimated amount;
• for transmitting the data with a priority;
• wherein the transceiver is configured for utilizing one of a plurality of threshold values for selecting the future resource, the plurality of threshold values associated with different priority classes.
