Contention access providing method for communication medium e.g. wired medium, in communication network, involves assigning network node to contention window within transmission opportunity based on transmitted priority information
The method involves transmitting priority information with network nodes (404C) prior to a shared-contention transmission opportunity, where the priority information indicates a priority level of a frame that the nodes intend to transmit on a communication medium during the shared-contention transmission opportunity. One of the nodes is assigned to a contention window within the transmission opportunity based on the transmitted priority information. A size for the contention windows is determined based on the transmitted priority information. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a communication network comprising nodes (2) a method for providing a shared-contention transmission opportunity in a communication network (3) a transceiver comprising a transmitting circuit.
