Abstract
Method performed by a first communication device (101) operating in a wireless communications network (100). The first communication device (101) determines (1101) one or more parameters for transmitting on an uplink control channel in an unlicensed band to a second communication device (102). The second communication device (102) operates in the wireless communications network (100). The one or more parameters comprise an indication of a duration of a channel sensing period. The first communication device (101) then transmits (1102) on the uplink control channel to the second communication device (102), by applying the determined one or more parameters. According to a method performed by the second communication device (102) operating in the wireless communications network (100), the second communication device (102) determines (1301) the one or more parameters. The second communication device (102) then initiates transmitting (1302) the determined one or more parameters to the first communication device (101).
