Abstract

Embodiments provide a controller for a participant of a communication system wirelessly communicates in a frequency band used for communication by a plurality of communication systems, wherein the controller is configured to identify a network-specific channel access pattern, wherein the network-specific channel access pattern indicates a frequency hop-based and/or time hop-based occupancy of resources of the frequency band that is usable for the communication of the communication system, wherein the controller is configured to identify a relative channel access pattern, wherein the relative channel access pattern indicates, from the usable frequency hop-based and/or time hop-based occupancy of resources of the network-specific channel access pattern, an occupancy of resources that is to be used for the transfer of data of the participant.
