1. A method for communicating in a mobile telecommunications network, the network comprising at least a base station configured to provide a wireless interface for one or more terminals to communicate with the base station, wherein the wireless interface comprises a first frequency band in which access to resources in the frequency band is a contention-based access, the method comprising:
determining an operating mode of a first terminal of the one or more terminals;
selecting, based on the operating mode, a first frame configuration from a plurality of frame configurations for the first terminal, each of the plurality of frame configurations configuring one or more of: an offset parameter determining the start of a frame, a Channel Occupancy Time “COT” duration in a frame, an idle duration in a frame, a frame duration, a frame period and a gap duration between two subsequent frames; and
communicating between the first terminal and the base station and via the first frequency band, using contention-based access and based on the first frame configuration.
