Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBH
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A first radio terminal (UE1) of a radio communications network, the first radio terminal comprising:
an electronic processor, a communication module, and an antenna, wherein the electronic processor is configured, together with the communication module, and the antenna, to cause the radio terminal to
determine 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);
transmit, in a first transmission to a second radio terminal (UE2) data;
select a sensing resource (sr);
sense the sensing resource (sr);
determine a contention indicator (CONT) by determining a received signal strength for the sensing resource (sr);
and refrain from transmitting data via the sensing resource when the contention indicator (CONT) indicates a contention situation at the sensing resource (sr).
