    摘要: A method of operating a communications device for transmitting data to or receiving data from an infrastructure equipment forming part of a wireless communications network. The method comprises determining uplink communications resources of a wireless access interface provided by the wireless communications network to be used for the transmission of data by the communications device to the infrastructure equipment, receiving, from the infrastructure equipment via the wireless radio interface, an uplink pre-emption indicator that indicates that at least a portion of the uplink communications resources are allocated for the transmission of signals by another communications device, the at least the portion of the uplink communications resources being located within communications resources of a reference region associated with the uplink pre-emption indicator, and adjusting one or more communications parameters for the transmission of signals representing the data in the uplink communications resources in response to receiving the uplink pre-emption indicator.

    摘要: A method of operating a communications device for transmitting user plane data to a wireless communications network via a wireless access interface provided by a cell of the wireless communications network when the communications device is not in an active radio resource connected mode is provided. The method comprises transmitting the user plane data using one of a preconfigured set of uplink radio resources of the wireless access interface and a scheduled random access procedure message, and monitoring a preconfigured set of downlink radio resources of the wireless access interface for a downlink signal, the preconfigured set of downlink radio resources being provided in response to the transmitted user plane data.

    摘要: A communications device transmits data in preconfigured resources of an uplink of a wireless communications network by performing a procedure to determine whether the communications device can transmit signals in the preconfigured resources of the uplink, and if the communications device determines that it can transmit signals in the preconfigured resources, transmitting signals representing the data in the preconfigured resources. The procedure to determine whether the communications device can transmit signals in the preconfigured resources of the uplink includes a transmission parameter confirmation procedure which confirms that a value of one or more transmission parameters to be used for transmitting the signals representing the data can be used for the signals representing the data to be detected by an infrastructure equipment of the wireless communications network.

    摘要: A method of performing cell reselection by a wireless communications device comprises measuring a signal strength of radio signals received from a serving cell, determining whether the signal strength of the signals received from the serving cell is lower than a first predetermined signal strength threshold, if the signal strength is lower than the first predetermined signal strength threshold measuring a signal strength of a neighbor cell operating on the same frequency as the serving cell to generate signal strength measurements at a first rate, and in accordance with the signal strength measurements of the neighbor cell generated at the first rate determining whether to reselect to the neighbor cell.

    摘要: A method of operating a communications device in a wireless communications network, the method comprising: selecting first uplink communication resources for transmitting uplink data, selecting second downlink communication resources for receiving downlink data, detecting a collision whereby, in accordance with the capabilities of the communications device, the communications device cannot both transmit signals using the first uplink communication resources and receive and decode signals transmitted using the second downlink communication resources, in response to detecting the collision, determining whether the second downlink communication resources are associated with a priority which is higher than a priority associated with the first uplink communication resources, and if the second downlink communication resources are associated with a priority which is higher than the priority associated with the first uplink communication resources, receiving the downlink data using the second downlink communication resources, and refraining from transmitting the uplink data using the first uplink communication resources.
