    Abstract: A method of operating first and second terminal devices for transmitting data in a device-to-device communication mode in a wireless telecommunications system supporting communications on a first carrier operating over a first frequency band and a second carrier operating over a second frequency band. The first terminal device transmits control signalling on the first carrier and this is received by the second terminal device. The control signalling comprises an indication of an allocation of radio resource blocks on the second carrier to be used for transmitting user-plane data from the first terminal device to the second terminal device. The first terminal device then proceeds to transmit the user-plane data to the second terminal device on the second carrier using the radio resource blocks on the second carrier identified by the control signalling. The control signalling may also provide an indication of an allocation of radio resource blocks on the first carrier to be used for transmitting user-plane data to the second terminal device.

    Abstract: A method comprising receiving a handover request message indicating a request for handover of a wireless communications device from a source infrastructure equipment to a target infrastructure equipment, receiving an indication from the source infrastructure equipment as to whether or not user plane data is being transmitted to or received from the wireless access network via the source infrastructure equipment using an integrity protection scheme, determining whether or not the integrity protection scheme for the user plane data is supported by the target infrastructure equipment, transmitting a handover command to the source infrastructure equipment to indicate to the source infrastructure equipment that the source infrastructure equipment should handover the wireless communications device to indicate to the source infrastructure equipment, and providing an indication as to whether or not the integrity protection scheme can be used for transmitting or receiving user plane data via the target infrastructure equipment.

    Abstract: A wireless telecommunications system including first and second terminal devices operable to communicate with one another in a synchronized device-to-device manner. The second terminal device is operable to selectively achieve synchronization for receiving data transmissions from the first terminal device using direct synchronization signalling transmitted by the first terminal device or indirect synchronization signalling transmitted by another network entity, such as a base station. The second terminal device is configured to preferentially seek indirect synchronization over direct synchronization, unless the second terminal device detects synchronization signalling transmitted by the first terminal device is associated with a predefined characteristic that indicates the synchronization signalling transmitted by the first terminal device is high priority synchronization signalling, in which case the second terminal device is configured to preferentially seek synchronization using the high priority direct synchronization signalling from the first terminal device over indirect synchronization signalling transmitted by the other network entity.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a connection procedure for a terminal device requesting a radio connection to a cell supported by network infrastructure equipment in a wireless telecommunication system, the method comprising: determining, at the terminal device, that a request to connect to the cell supported by the network infrastructure equipment is to be made, establishing, at the terminal device, application information relating to an operating context for the terminal device; transmitting a connection request message from the terminal device to the network infrastructure equipment, wherein the connection request message comprises a request for the terminal device to connect to the cell and an indication of the application information; and determining, at the network infrastructure equipment, whether to allow the request for the terminal device to connect to the cell based, at least in part, on the application information received by the network infrastructure equipment from the terminal device.
