Claim 10:
11. A method to operate a first radio terminal (UE1) of a radio communications network, the method comprising:
determining a resource configuration for the first radio terminal (UE1), wherein the resource configuration indicates scheduled radio resources (rr1-rr4) of a shared radio channel (CH), wherein the indicated radio resources (rr1-rr4) are intended for a transmission by the first radio terminal (UE1);
transmitting, in a first transmission to a second radio terminal (UE2), data;
selecting a sensing resource (sr);
sensing the sensing resource (sr);
determining a contention indicator (CONT) by determining a received signal strength for the sensing resource (sr);
and refraining from transmitting data via the sensing resource when the contention indicator (CONT) indicates a contention situation at the sensing resource (sr).
