Abstract
There is provided a method, performed by a communication station, for Listen-Before-Talk, LBT, based medium access. The method comprises the step (S) of performing an LBT-based medium access procedure including sensing a radio-based medium on a shared radio spectrum during a sensing duration, deferring transmission if an on-going transmission is detected during the sensing, and transmitting on the radio-based medium if no on-going transmission is detected during the sensing. The method further comprises the step (S) of waiting, when the communication station has transmitted, for a waiting duration that is based on a time duration between consecutive sensing occasions for at least one other communication station, also operating according to an LBT-based medium access procedure on the shared radio spectrum, before performing the LBT-based medium access procedure again.
