Abstract
A first node and a method therein for controlling transmission of a first signal. The first node is operating in a Basic Service Set (BSS) comprised in a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The first node detects a second signal transmitted from a second node operating in the WLAN. Further, the first node compares a signal strength of the second signal with a threshold value for the second node, which threshold value is determined based on the node type of the second node. Furthermore the first node transmits the first signal when the signal strength of the second signal is below the threshold value, and defers from transmitting the first signal when the signal strength of the second signal is above the threshold value. Thereby the transmission of the first signal is controlled.
