In some examples, the value of N1 and/or K1 used by the first node may be a function of a total number of operators (e.g., a total number of operators including the first operator and any neighbor operators) that have nodes with emergency data to transmit, which nodes need to transmit emergency data simultaneously with the first node's transmission of emergency data. When no other operator has a node with emergency data to transmit simultaneously with the first node's transmission of emergency data, the first node may set K to K=0, such that the first node may contend for access to every frame of the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, until such time that the first node has completed its emergency data transmission. When all other operators (or a threshold number of operators) have a node with emergency data to transmit simultaneously with the first node's transmission of emergency data, the first node may not adjust the value of N or K (e.g., the first node may leave the value of N at N=N0 and leave the value of K at K=K0), or the first node may adjust the values of N and K to match the values of N and K used by other operators having emergency data to transmit. In some examples, the first node may determine that another node has emergency data to transmit over the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band by receiving, from the other node, a signal including an indication that the second node has emergency data to transmit.
