Abstract
A device configured to communicate on a first and at least one second band, the first band being reserved for communication using a specific communication standard, the second band being accessible for communication using different communication standards. The device is configured to request communication resources in the second band from a second device using a first type of request to obtain access to the resources in competition with other requests of the first type issued from other devices; allocate the resources in the second band for communication upon receipt of a resource allocation confirmation from the second device; and communicate using at least a part of the allocated resources in the second band conformant to the specific communication standard applied for communication on the first band.
