Abstract: A method of operating a relay device to receive data from one or more terminal devices and relay the data to a base station in a wireless telecommunications system. The method includes receiving plural blocks of data from one or more terminal devices at different times. Each block of data is received in association with an indication of a time by which the block of data should be transmitted to the base station. The block of data are buffered at the relay node that determines earliest time by which one of the received blocks of data should be transmitted to the base station and transmits the plurality of blocks of data to the base station together in advance of this earliest time. The method reduces signalling overhead associated with transmissions from the relay device to the base station while helping to ensure data is not delayed at the relay node for longer than is acceptable for the data.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of optimizing tilt angle of antennas of a plurality of cells in a wireless cellular system. The method comprising the steps of autonomously determining focal point of each cell of the plurality of cells whose angle of tilt is to be optimized; determining jointly optimal tilt values of the antennas of the plurality of cells based on the determined focal points; and configuring the tilt angle of the antennas of the plurality of cells based on said optimal tilt values.

Abstract: A communications device includes a transmitter to transmit signals representing data to an infrastructure equipment of a mobile communications network via a first wireless access interface and to transmit signals via a second wireless access interface to one or more communications apparatus which can act as relay nodes, a receiver to receive signals from the infrastructure equipment via the first wireless access interface and to receive signals via the second wireless access interface from the one or more communications apparatus which can act as relay nodes, and a controller. The controller can form a relay assist request message and with the transmitter and receiver to transmit the relay assist request message on the second wireless access interface for reception by the one or more communications apparatus which can act as relay nodes to assist in communicating signals representing data to the infrastructure equipment via the first wireless access interface.

Abstract: A controller configured in combination with a transmitter and a receiver to transmit signals via a second wireless access interface to a communications apparatus operating as a relay node, the signals for transmission to infrastructure equipment by the communications apparatus as if the signals were transmitted by the communications device via a first wireless communications interface, to receive signals from the infrastructure via the first wireless access interface, to determine an additional delay caused by transmission of the signals to the communications apparatus acting as the relay node via the second wireless access interface compared with a time taken which would have been taken to transmit the signals to the infrastructure equipment as if transmitted via the first wireless access interface, and to transmit to the infrastructure equipment an indication from which the infrastructure equipment can derive the determined additional delay for adjusting transmission or reception of the synchronized respons

Abstract: A method of operating a terminal device in a wireless telecommunications system which, during a mode transition state, supports a first mode of operation in which the terminal device does not communicate with the wireless telecommunications system and a second mode of operation in which the terminal device does communicate with the wireless telecommunications system, the method including: transitioning from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation at the expiration of a time period whereby the time period is defined by the data traffic pattern to the terminal device.
