Abstract: A communications device configured to detect one or more beams of signals transmitted by each of a plurality of infrastructure equipment forming a plurality of cells of the wireless communications network, each of the beams being separately identifiable and forming a directional bias with respect to a location of the infrastructure equipment. The communications device is configured to perform measurements for evaluating a quality of the plurality of cells including one or more beams on signals received from each of the detected beams, to determine from the evaluation of each of the cells, and if one or more of the cells satisfies predetermined conditions to perform a process for identifying one or more of the cells which should be used by the communications device for transmitting data.

Abstract: An infrastructure equipment (eNodeB) is configured to transmit a paging notification which indicates that configuration information which is broadcast in a cell to all communications devices which are configured to operate in accordance with a network controlled function has changed. Communications devices which are configured to perform the network controlled function are provided with an indication that they should receive the configuration information which is broadcast in order to reconfigure the network controlled function. A communications device which is not configured to perform the network controlled function may not recognise the paging notification or at least may detect that it does not need to receive the updated configuration information for the network controlled service. Such communications devices may therefore remain in an idle mode thereby saving power.

Abstract: A method of transmitting data to a communications device from a wireless communications network comprising one or more infrastructure equipment, the method comprises configuring one or more of the infrastructure equipment for transmitting one or more candidate beams of signals which can be used to transmit the data to the communications device from each of one or more cells of the wireless communications device formed by the infrastructure equipment. Each of the candidate beams is configured with a different directional bias with respect to a location of the one or more cells from which the signals of the candidate beam can be received when transmitted.

Abstract: A mobile telecommunications system method is described. A property of a first received reference signal from a first base station operating in a first mobile telecommunications system and a property of a second received reference signal from a second base station or a user equipment operating in a second mobile telecommunications system are measured. It is switched from the first base station to the second base station as a serving base station based on the property of the first received reference signal and on the property of the second received reference signal.
