1. A method performed by a wireless device in a group of wireless devices, wherein each of the wireless devices comprises a first transceiver for wireless communication and a second transceiver for wireless communication and is operable to switch between a first state in which the wireless device at least allows data transmission via the first transceiver and at least allows data reception via the second transceiver, and a second state in which the wireless device at least forbids data transmission via the first transceiver and at least allows data reception via the second transceiver, said method comprising:
receiving, by the second transceiver, a state indicator and confidence data from a respective other wireless device in the group of wireless devices, wherein the state indicator indicates a current state of the respective other wireless device, and wherein the confidence data is indicative of a confidence in a decision by the respective other wireless device to operate in the current state; and
setting the wireless device in the first or second state based on the state indicator and the confidence data.
