Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method implemented in a network node for transmitting data to a wireless device, wherein the data is time aligned with a periodic high priority transmission. The method comprises the steps of defining a zone prior to the occasion of the periodic high priority transmission where data packets could be aligned, identifying suitable data packets to schedule in the zone prior to the periodic high priority transmission, performing a clear channel assessment—CCA—and transmitting the periodic high priority transmission and potentially the data packets. Also disclosed is an arrangement and a computer program product.
