1. A method, the method comprising:
determining that a received signal strength with respect to an on-going transmission on a channel satisfies a clear channel condition with respect to a first clear channel assessment threshold;
as a result of determining that the received signal satisfies the clear channel condition, assessing the channel to be available for transmission;
establishing type of transmission of the on-going transmission; and
determining, based on the established type of transmission, whether to transmit or to defer transmitting.
