    摘要: A method of operating a communications device for receiving user plane data from a wireless communications network when the communications device is not in an active radio resource connected mode is provided. The method comprises receiving a message from the wireless communications network, the message including an indication that the wireless communications network has user plane data for transmission to the communications device while the communications device is not in an active mode, determining from the message a set of radio resources on which the user plane data is to be transmitted, wherein the user plane data is to be received by the communications device from the wireless communications network as part of a random access procedure, and transmitting to the wireless communications network an indication of whether or not the communications device successfully received the user plane data using the determined set of radio resources.

    摘要: A communications device receive data from a wireless communications network by detecting from one or more control channels of a wireless access interface one or more encoded data units of a plurality of encoded data units into which an error correction encoded control information has been divided in accordance with an incremental redundancy scheme. The communications device decodes the error correction encoded control information by combining the one or more detected encoded data units in accordance with an arrangement of encoded bits of the error correction encoded control information in each of the plurality of encoded data units. Each of the plurality of encoded data units comprises a different set of the encoded bits according to a different redundancy version number of the incremental redundancy scheme.
