Abstract
This document discloses a solution for enabling overlapping transmissions in a wireless network. An apparatus may be arranged to detect a response to a frame, the response transmitted from a first device as addressed to a second device different from the apparatus and comprising a first value indicating a received signal strength between the first device and the second device. The apparatus may determine a second value indicating a received signal strength of the response in the apparatus and cause transmission of a frame that overlaps with a transmission between the first device and the second device only if the second value in proportion to the first value is below a determined threshold.
