1. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a hardware processor of a computing component, the machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions to cause the hardware processor to:
detect a radio frequency (RF) signal present on a channel in use by a transmitter;
determine that an energy level of the RF signal is greater than at least one energy level threshold;
based on the determination that the energy level of the RF signal is greater than the at least one energy level threshold, determine that frames, to be transmitted on the channel by the transmitter, are associated with at least one of a high-priority and low-latency traffic type;
in response to the determination that the frames are associated with at least one of a high-priority and low-latency traffic type, determine that the RF signal is associated with a different basic service set (BSS) than that of the transmitter, and that the energy level of the RF signal is greater than an overlapping BSS Packet-Detect (OBSS PD) threshold; and
allow transmission of the frames in response to the determination that the RF signal is associated with a different BSS, and that the energy level of the RF signal is greater than the OBSS PD threshold.
