A method performed by a first radio node, wherein the first radio node operates in a Long Term Evolution, LTE, wireless communications network, the method comprising: selecting a Listen-Before-Talk, LBT, method from a first LBT method and a second LBT method based on a type of information to be transmitted to a second radio node in a radio channel in unlicensed spectrum, wherein the first LBT method is selected when the type of information is data and the second LBT method is selected when the type of information is control or management information, and performing an LBT with the selected LBT method on the radio channel, wherein: - when the type of information is data and the selected LBT method is the first LBT method, the selected method comprises always deferring transmission of the data until one of the following: a) after completion of a first period of observation of the radio channel, in which an outcome of the first period of observation is that the radio channel is idle an outcome of at least a second period of observation of the radio channel is that the radio channel is idle, and b) an outcome of a first period of observation of the radio channel and one or more defer periods is that the radio channel is idle, and - when the type of information is control or management Information and the selected LBT method is the second LBT method, the selected method comprises allowing transmission of the information immediately after an outcome of the first period of observation is that the radio channel is idle, wherein a duration of the first period of observation is shouter than a Distributed Coordination Function Inter-frame Spacing, DIFS, period to provide priority to the control or management information compared to data. selecting a Listen-Before-Talk, LBT, method from a first LBT method and a second LBT method based on a type of information to be transmitted to a second radio node in a radio channel in unlicensed spectrum, wherein the first LBT method is selected when the type of information is data and the second LBT method is selected when the type of information is control or management information, and performing an LBT with the selected LBT method on the radio channel, wherein: - when the type of information is data and the selected LBT method is the first LBT method, the selected method comprises always deferring transmission of the data until one of the following: a) after completion of a first period of observation of the radio channel, in which an outcome of the first period of observation is that the radio channel is idle an outcome of at least a second period of observation of the radio channel is that the radio channel is idle, and b) an outcome of a first period of observation of the radio channel and one or more defer periods is that the radio channel is idle, and - when the type of information is control or management Information and the selected LBT method is the second LBT method, the selected method comprises allowing transmission of the information immediately after an outcome of the first period of observation is that the radio channel is idle, wherein a duration of the first period of observation is shouter than a Distributed Coordination Function Inter-frame Spacing, DIFS, period to provide priority to the control or management information compared to data. - when the type of information is data and the selected LBT method is the first LBT method, the selected method comprises always deferring transmission of the data until one of the following: a) after completion of a first period of observation of the radio channel, in which an outcome of the first period of observation is that the radio channel is idle an outcome of at least a second period of observation of the radio channel is that the radio channel is idle, and b) an outcome of a first period of observation of the radio channel and one or more defer periods is that the radio channel is idle, and - when the type of information is control or management Information and the selected LBT method is the second LBT method, the selected method comprises allowing transmission of the information immediately after an outcome of the first period of observation is that the radio channel is idle, wherein a duration of the first period of observation is shouter than a Distributed Coordination Function Inter-frame Spacing, DIFS, period to provide priority to the control or management information compared to data.
