    Abstract: A method is performed in a first infrastructure equipment for a handover of a wireless device from the first infrastructure equipment as a source to a second infrastructure equipment as a target. The method comprises maintaining a mapping between a plurality of packet bearers and a data radio bearer for the wireless device, each of the plurality of packet bearers being configured to provide a specified quality of service, determining that the wireless device should handover from the first infrastructure equipment to the second infrastructure equipment, determining that the second infrastructure equipment does not support the mapping of the plurality of packet bearers to the data radio bearer, and providing an indication of a mapping of the plurality of packet bearers for the second infrastructure equipment after handover to one of a core network equipment and the second infrastructure equipment.

    Abstract: An infrastructure equipment transmitting/receiving data to/from one or more communications devices in a wireless communications network, includes a transmitter, receiver, and controller controlling the transmitter and receiver to provide a wireless access interface providing communications resources arranged in time divided units of a system bandwidth providing plural blocks of communications resources, and one or more narrowband carriers. Each carrier provides, within a carrier frequency bandwidth, communications resources for allocation to narrow band communications devices, the carrier bandwidth being less than and within the system bandwidth, signals being transmitted to the narrowband communications devices via the narrow band carriers with a first power. The controller controls the transmitter to transmit signals on a down-link of a narrowband carrier to a narrow-band communications device with an increased power, power of the signals being increased to a greater second power to reduce a time of communicating a high priority message.
