Abstract
A method performed by a first network node for reducing the number of colliding transmissions in a mesh network is provided. The first network node and the second network node are configured to use periodic advertising for transmissions in the mesh network. The first network node calculates () a first duration related to a transmission of data of a first size to be transmitted to the second network node. The first network node further calculates () a second duration related to a period of time until a reception or a transmission of data is scheduled for second network node will occur. Based on the first and second duration the first network node decides () whether or not to decrease the first size of the transmission to a second size, so that first duration becomes shorter than the second duration. The first network then performs () the transmission according to the outcome of the deciding ().
