1. Terminal point of a communication system,
wherein the communication system wirelessly communicates in a frequency band used for communication by a plurality of communication systems,
wherein the terminal point is configured to receive a signal, wherein the signal comprises information about a network-specific channel access pattern, wherein the network-specific channel access pattern indicates a frequency hop-based and time hop-based occupancy of resources of the frequency band that is usable for the communication of the communication system,
wherein the terminal point is configured to transfer data by using a relative channel access pattern, wherein the relative channel access pattern indicates, from the usable frequency hop-based and time hop-based occupancy of resources of the network-specific channel access pattern, an occupancy of resources that is to be used for the transfer,
wherein the information describes a state of a numerical sequence generator for generating a numerical sequence, and wherein the information describes a number of a numerical sequence, wherein the numerical sequence determines the network-specific channel access pattern,
wherein the occupancy of resources of the relative channel access pattern that is to be used for the transfer is a subset of the usable frequency hop-based and time hop-based occupancy of resources of the network-specific channel access pattern.
