Abstract: A method of operating a terminal device in a wireless telecommunications system is disclosed. The terminal device is configured to selectively switch between an active operating mode and a reduced-power operating mode. The method comprises communicating with a network entity to exchange a block of data between the terminal device and the network entity while the terminal device is in the active operating mode. The method further comprises determining when communications associated with the exchange of the block of data are complete, and in response to determining communications associated with the exchange of the block of data are complete, switching from the active operating mode to the reduced-power operating mode.

Abstract: A communications device configured to receive data from an infrastructure equipment of a wireless communications network is provided. The communications device comprises transceiver circuitry configured to transmit signals and to receive signals via a wireless access interface provided by the wireless communications network, and controller circuitry. The controller circuitry is configured to control the transceiver circuitry to receive an explicit uplink hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement indicator, e-HARQ indicator, from the infrastructure equipment, and to determine, in accordance with the received e-HARQ indicator, whether or not the communications device should monitor for a first HARQ acknowledgement, HARQ-ACK, in a specific time slot and in a specific frequency resource of the wireless access interface, the first HARQ-ACK being transmitted by the infrastructure equipment in response to an uplink transmission from the communications device to the infrastructure equipment.

Abstract: A relay device configured to communicate with a terminal device of the network and with a base station of the network. The relay device comprises transmitter circuitry, receiver circuitry and controller circuitry. The controller circuitry is configured in combination with at least the transmitter circuitry: to select a maximum transmission power to be used by the terminal device for communicating with the relay device, wherein the identified maximum transmission power is based on link information relating to one or both of the link between the relay device and the base station and the link between the relay device and the terminal; to notify the communication device of the selected maximum transmission power for the terminal to select an actual transmission power and to transmit signals to the relay device at a power that is no more than the maximum transmission power.
