Abstract

The invention relates to a method for communicating data via a shared wifeless channel. The method comprises the steps of preparing a data packet for transmission via the shared wireless channel (10); detecting any signal presence in the channel (20); and transmitting the data packet if no signal has been detected in the detecting step C60). Further, the method comprises the step of transmitting the data packet if transmission requirements related to the data packet are met, irrespective of any signal detection in the detecting step (30,26).
