Abstract: A terminal device and network infrastructure equipment communicate in accordance with a first radio access technology on a primary cell supporting a primary component carrier on radio resources within a first frequency band and a secondary cell supporting a secondary component carrier on radio resources within a second frequency band. The terminal device is also operable to use radio resources within the second frequency band for communicating in accordance with a second radio access technology, e.g. Wi-Fi. The network infrastructure equipment establishes a configuration of radio resources within the second frequency band for use by the terminal device for communications with the network infrastructure equipment in accordance with the first radio access technology and communicates an indication of this to the terminal device. The terminal device establishes a configuration of radio resources for use by the terminal device for communications in accordance with the second radio access technology and determines if there is any overlap in the radio resources configured for use by the two different radio access technologies, and if so communicates an indication of this to the network infrastructure equipment. In response the network infrastructure equipment establishes a replacement configuration of radio resources for communications with the terminal device in accordance with the first radio access technology, wherein the replacement configuration avoids the radio resources indicated as being subject to overlap, and transmits an indication of the replacement configuration to the terminal device.

Abstract: A terminal device for use with a wireless telecommunications network, the terminal device including a transceiver; and a controller configured to control the transceiver to exchange data with the wireless telecommunications network using one of a first communications service and a second communications service, the first communications service being associated with a first quality of service for exchanging data and the second communications service being associated with a second quality of service for exchanging data. The controller is configured to control the transceiver to establish one of a first set of radio connection states with the wireless telecommunications network and one of a second set of radio connection states with the wireless telecommunications network, and control the transceiver to establish the radio connection state of the first communications service independently of the radio connection state of the second communications service.

Abstract: A mobile communications system, methods, and communication terminals. A first of plural communications terminals is configured to determine, based on current communications conditions, one of plural predetermined priority levels representing a relative ability of the first communications terminal to act as a relay node for a second of the plural communications terminals, and to transmit an indication of the determined priority level to the second communications terminals for one of the first or other communications terminals to be selected to act as a relay node for the second communications terminal. The second communications terminal is configured to receive from the first communications terminal the indication of the determined priority level, to receive from the other communications terminals indications of determined priority levels, to select one of the first communications terminals or one or more of the other communications terminals to act as a relay node for the second communications terminal.

Abstract: A method of communicating data between a radio network infrastructure and a terminal device in a wireless telecommunications network. The method comprises establishing at a radio network infrastructure element there is data available for communication between the radio network infrastructure and the terminal device and transmitting a paging message for the terminal device from the radio network infrastructure element. The paging message comprises an indication of an identifier for the terminal device and an indication of a network allocated resource for use in subsequently communicating the data between the radio network infrastructure element and the terminal device. In response to receiving the paging message the terminal device transmits to the radio network infrastructure element a paging response indicating the terminal device received the paging message, after which the data is communicated between the radio network infrastructure element and the terminal device using the network allocated resource.
