    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 communications device configured to receive data from an infrastructure equipment of a wireless communications network is provided. The communications device comprises transceiver circuitry configured to transmit signals and to receive signals via a wireless access interface provided by the wireless communications network, and controller circuitry. The controller circuitry is configured to control the transceiver circuitry to receive an explicit uplink hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement indicator, e-HARQ indicator, from the infrastructure equipment, and to determine, in accordance with the received e-HARQ indicator, whether or not the communications device should monitor for a first HARQ acknowledgement, HARQ-ACK, in a specific time slot and in a specific frequency resource of the wireless access interface, the first HARQ-ACK being transmitted by the infrastructure equipment in response to an uplink transmission from the communications device to the infrastructure equipment.
