Claim 4:
5. The method according to claim 4, wherein performing the random access procedure for the received packet of the second packet flow further comprises:
determining a number of time slots for a back-off counter value of the second packet flow;
decrementing, from the number of time slots for the back-off counter value of the second packet flow, by remaining sensed idle time slots;
incrementing a back-off counter value of the first packet flow with the number of time slots used to decrement the random access procedure for the second packet flow;
continuing decrement of the back-off counter value of the second packet flow when sensed time slot is considered as idle; and
granting a transmission opportunity when the back-off counter value of the second packet flow is zero.
