1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
decode at least a first part of a first frame received on a first channel;
detect, during said decoding the first part of the first frame, transmission of a second frame on a second channel;
in response to said detecting, buffer at least a first part of the second frame, the first part of the second frame comprising duration information;
after said decoding the first part of the first frame, decode at least the first part of the second frame;
update, on the basis of the duration information, channel occupation information of the second channel;
start, based at least partly on the channel occupation information of the second channel indicating that the second channel not occupied, contention for channel access on the second channel.
