Abstract
A method to operate a first radio terminal of a radio communications network, is provided, wherein the method comprises: determining a SPS configuration for the first radio terminal, wherein the SPS configuration indicates a set of SPS, semi-persistently scheduled, radio resources of a shared device-to-device radio channel, in particular of a sidelink channel, SL-CH, wherein the indicated SPS radio resources are intended for a transmission by the first radio terminal; transmitting, towards at least one second radio terminal, data via a first subset of the set of the SPS radio resources; selecting at least one sensing resource out of the set of SPS radio resources; sensing the at least one sensing resource; determining a contention indicator in dependence on the sensing of the at least one sensing resource; and refraining from transmitting data via a second subset of the set of SPS radio resources if the contention indicator indicates a contention situation at the at least one sensing resource.
