Abstract: In an infrastructure equipment forming part of a mobile communications network, a controller is configured in combination with a receiver and transmitter to receive from one or more communications devices a channel state report for each of one or more predefined candidate channels within a frequency range, each of the candidate channels representing a minimum unit of communications resource usable to receive data on a downlink. The controller is configured to select, from the one or more candidate carriers, one or more component carriers for use in transmitting signals to the communications devices within the second frequency range to form a downlink providing a secondary cell, based on the received channel state reports, and to transmit an indication identifying the selected one or more component carriers to the one or more communications devices for use in transmitting signals to the one or more communications devices via the frequency range.

Abstract: A method of operating a terminal device and network infrastructure equipment in a wireless telecommunications system for communicating on a primary cell supporting a primary component carrier on radio resources within a first frequency band and a secondary cell supporting a secondary component carrier on radio resources within a second frequency band. The infrastructure equipment establishes plural configuration settings for the secondary carrier based on measurements of radio usage in the second frequency band, which are conveyed to the terminal device. The terminal device makes channel quality measurements for the secondary component carrier according to the different configuration settings and reports these to the infrastructure equipment.

Abstract: A plurality of payload messages (502, 505, 508) is communicated on a radio link of a cellular network between a terminal (130) and an access node (112) of the cellular network. Each one of the plurality of payload messages (502, 505, 508) includes a data packet (501) encoded according to a given redundancy version (371-373). The number of the plurality of payload messages (502, 505, 508) may be dynamically and flexibly adjusted in some embodiments. Examples are given which may be applied for coverage enhancement in the Internet of Things or Machine Type Communication domain.

Abstract: A method in a location service client node includes maintaining a database containing a listing of beacon radio node identifiers with their geographic locations. A received location request contains an identifier for a UE and an identifier for a beacon radio node. A geographic location of the UE is determined from the database using the geographic location of the identifier for the beacon radio nodes. A message is sent to a public safety system containing the identifier for the UE and the geographic location. Subsequent to sending the message to the public safety system, a received movement notification message contains the identifier for the beacon radio node and data indicating that the beacon radio node has been moved. Data in the database is set to prevent the geographic location of the beacon radio node from being subsequently used to determine the geographic location of a UE.

Abstract: A communications device and method for performing device-to-device communications.

Abstract: A method of operating a terminal device and a base station in a wireless telecommunications system to communicate with one another using a primary component carrier operating on radio resources within a first frequency band and a secondary component carrier operating on radio resources within a second frequency band. The terminal device makes measurements of radio usage in the second frequency band, and transmits an indication of the measurements to the base station. The base station then establishes a configuration setting for the secondary component carrier. The configuration setting is associated with a validity period during which the base station communicates data to the terminal device using the primary component carrier and the secondary component carrier operating in accordance with its configuration setting.

Abstract: A signalling message including paging related information indicative of whether an user equipment (10, 19) is pageable or indicative of whether the UE (10, 19) will be paged is transmitted. The UE (10, 19) does not listen on a paging channel if the pageability information indicates that the UE (10, 19) is unpageable.
