determining a scheduled transmission event of the data signal;
determining a scheduled transmission event of the ranging signal;
determining if the scheduled transmission event of the data signal will occur within a predetermined time window of the scheduled transmission event of the ranging signal;
if it is determined that the scheduled transmission event of the data signal will occur within a predetermined time window of the scheduled transmission event of the ranging signal, the method further comprises determining a priority signal and a secondary signal, wherein the priority signal is one of the data signal and the ranging signal and the secondary signal is the other of the data signal and the ranging signal; and
providing signalling configured to prevent the scheduled transmission event of the secondary signal from being transmitted such that only the scheduled transmission event of the priority signal is transmitted.
