A method performed by a first station for handling Request-to-Send/Clear-to-Send, RTS/CTS, transmissions in a wireless communications network, wherein the first station is served by a first access point in a first Basic Service Set, the method comprising receiving a RTS/CTS transmission relating to a second Basic Service Set; characterized by determining whether or not to set a Network Allocation Vector, NAV, according to the RTS/CTS transmission based on whether the RTS/CTS transmission was sent from a second station or from a second access point in the second Basic Service Set, determining not to set a NAV according to the RTS/CTS transmission when the RTS/CTS transmission is an RTS transmission sent from the second station and a measured signal power of the RTS transmission is below a first determined threshold value, or when the RTS/CTS transmission is an CTS transmission sent from the second access point, wherein when the measured signal power of the RTS transmission from the second station is above said first determined threshold value, determining not to set a NAV according to the RTS transmission and further performing one of: - transmitting, in response to receiving another RTS transmission from the first access point, information indicating an upcoming occurrence of a nearby uplink transmission in another CTS transmission to the first access point; - transmitting, in response to receiving another RTS transmission from the first access point, information indicating that the first access point is not clear to send data to the first station in another CTS transmission to the first access point; or ignoring any received RTS transmissions from the first access point for a time period indicated by the RTS transmission from the second station.. receiving a RTS/CTS transmission relating to a second Basic Service Set; characterized by determining whether or not to set a Network Allocation Vector, NAV, according to the RTS/CTS transmission based on whether the RTS/CTS transmission was sent from a second station or from a second access point in the second Basic Service Set, determining not to set a NAV according to the RTS/CTS transmission when the RTS/CTS transmission is an RTS transmission sent from the second station and a measured signal power of the RTS transmission is below a first determined threshold value, or when the RTS/CTS transmission is an CTS transmission sent from the second access point, wherein when the measured signal power of the RTS transmission from the second station is above said first determined threshold value, determining not to set a NAV according to the RTS transmission and further performing one of: - transmitting, in response to receiving another RTS transmission from the first access point, information indicating an upcoming occurrence of a nearby uplink transmission in another CTS transmission to the first access point; - transmitting, in response to receiving another RTS transmission from the first access point, information indicating that the first access point is not clear to send data to the first station in another CTS transmission to the first access point; or - transmitting, in response to receiving another RTS transmission from the first access point, information indicating an upcoming occurrence of a nearby uplink transmission in another CTS transmission to the first access point; - transmitting, in response to receiving another RTS transmission from the first access point, information indicating that the first access point is not clear to send data to the first station in another CTS transmission to the first access point; or ignoring any received RTS transmissions from the first access point for a time period indicated by the RTS transmission from the second station..
