1. A transceiver configured for communicating in a wireless communication network being operated so as to schedule communication in a communication channel being organized in a plurality of resources arranged in a time-frequency grid;
wherein the transceiver is configured for estimating a usability of resources of the channel for an own transmission based on performing long-term sensing a utilization of the channel by decoding a control data transmitted in the channel and/or by performing power sensing of the channel; and
scheduling the own transmission based on the usability of the resources;
wherein the transceiver is configured for estimating, based on the utilization, an amount of resources available in a future time interval which may be one of a time slot and a transmission time interval, and for selecting, from the estimated amount, data to be transmitted that comprise a priority for which the estimated amount is suitable using the future resource; or
for selecting a future resource from a plurality of future resources based on the estimated amount for transmitting the data with a priority; or
for estimating the usability with regard to a spatial domain of the transceiver and for selecting a spatial domain according to the usability.
