Abstract:
A method performed by a first communication device for sending one or more control signals to a second communication device. The first communication device and the second communication device operate in a wireless communications network. The first communication device determines, during a first period, that a transmission medium is available for sending the one or more control signals to the second communication device. The first communication device then sends, to the second communication device, the one or more control signals along with a discovery signal, via the transmission medium. The discovery signal and the one or more control signals are sent without data after the first period. The first period is shorter than a second period for determining that the transmission medium is available for sending the data.

Claim (Index 18):
The first communication device according to  claim 17 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to send the one or more control signals along with the discovery signal by sending the one or more signals within a DRS occasion comprising the discovery signal.
