    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.
