Claim 14:
15. The apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the controlling circuitry is configured to cause the random access procedure for the received packet of the second packet flow by causing:
determination of a number of time slots for a back-off counter value of the second packet flow;
decrement, from the number of time slots for the back-off counter value of the second packet flow, by remaining sensed idle time slots;
increment of 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;
continuation of decrement of the back-off counter value of the second packet flow when sensed time slot is considered as idle; and
grant of a transmission opportunity when the back-off counter value of the second packet flow is zero.
