    Abstract: An apparatus and method providing feedback on channel conditions in a wireless telecommunications system including a base station to communicate with plural terminals device using frequencies spanning a system frequency bandwidth. At least one terminal device is a reduced capability terminal device including a tuneable transceiver configured to receive downlink transmissions from the base station using only a restricted frequency bandwidth smaller than and within the system frequency bandwidth. The reduced capability terminal device is configured to communicate information derived from measurements of channel conditions to the base station. The information may include an indication of measured channel conditions for different frequency locations, or an indication of one or more frequency locations for which corresponding measurement of channel conditions meet a pre-defined selection criterion. The base station subsequently schedules downlink transmissions for the terminal device in a manner that takes account of the information received from the terminal device.

    Abstract: A perturbation is made to contents and/or locations in time and frequency of Reference Signals (RS) transmitted by a cell, such that the perturbation implies information regarding a capability or configuration of the cell as regards availability or configuration of a network functionality, for example facility to offer a narrowband virtual carrier operation. The contents and/or locations in time and frequency of the reference signals used are typically based on the physical cell identity (PCI). In certain embodiments the PCI carried by some identifiable RS resources is changed: in others, the RS is transmitted in unexpected resources. The network functionality configuration information is inferred from the various relationships between these transmissions and the cell's actual PCI and/or expected RS transmission resources.

    Abstract: A wireless telecommunications system including a base station and terminal device, supporting a virtual carrier mode with downlink communications made by the base station using a radio interface spanning a system frequency bandwidth while the terminal device can receive at least some communications from the base station within a restricted subset of transmission resources selected from within the system frequency bandwidth providing a restricted bandwidth downlink. The terminal device can measure channel conditions across the system frequency bandwidth and transmit corresponding measurement reports to the base station. Measurement reports for transmission resources not including the restricted bandwidth downlink channel may be aperiodic while measurement reports for transmission resources including the restricted bandwidth downlink channel may be periodic. Measurement reports for transmission resources not including the restricted bandwidth downlink channel may be based on a subset of the channel condition measurements selected because they are associated with relatively poor channel conditions.

    Abstract: A wireless telecommunications system supports a virtual carrier operation mode in which downlink communications are made by a base station while a terminal device can receive at least some communications from the base station within a restricted subset of transmission resources, and supports terminal devices in a radio resource control connected mode and radio resource control idle mode. When there is to be a change in system information the base station transmits to the terminal device an indication that updated system information is to be broadcast by the base station, the indication received by the terminal device while in the connected mode. Before seeking to acquire the updated system information, the terminal device transitions from the connected mode to the idle mode, and then seeks to acquire updated system information. The base station restricts transmission of user-plane data to the terminal device until the terminal device re-enters the connected mode.

    Abstract: A group-based PDCCH capability is proposed in LTE. In particular, information common to a group of UEs, such as those common to a virtual carrier, may be signalled in a group search space within the PDCCH. This common information may include the location of a further control region embedded in the virtual carrier which contains UE-specific information for access the resources of the virtual carrier. Additional methods are introduced for assigning UEs a group identity by implicit signalling, and for determining the aggregation level of the group-based PDCCH search space.

    Abstract: A wireless telecommunication system includes base stations for communicating with terminal devices. One or more base stations support a power boost operating mode in which a base station's available transmission power is concentrated in a subset of its available transmission resources to provide enhanced transmission powers as compared to transmission powers on these transmission resources when the base station is not operating in the power boost mode. A base station establishes an extent to which one or more base stations in the wireless telecommunications system supporting the power boost operating mode conveys an indication of this to a terminal device. The terminal device receives the indication and uses the corresponding information to control its acquisition of a base station of the wireless telecommunication system, for example by taking account of which base stations support power boosting and/or when power boosting is supported during a cell attach procedure.
