    摘要: A communications device acts as a remote (first) communications device and communicates via another (second) communications device acting as a relay. The remote communications device communicates, via a wireless communications network using a first wireless access interface implemented by a first set of protocol entities in the remote communications device and a corresponding first set of peer protocol entities. The remote communications device receives an indication of a configuration of a second wireless access interface for communication between the remote communications device and the relay communications device, the first wireless access interface being implemented by a second set of protocol entities in the remote communications device and a corresponding second set of peer protocol entities in the relay communications device. The remote communications device maintains at least one of the first set of protocol entities in the remote communications device.

    摘要: A method of transmitting data by a transmitter to a receiver in a wireless communications network. The method comprises receiving data for transmission to the receiver via a communications channel, dividing the data into portions for transmission, receiving, for each of the portions of data, an indication of channel information from the receiver for use by the transmitter in determining values for one or more communications parameters with which the portion of data should be transmitted, determining the values for the one or more communications parameters based on the received channel information, dynamically generating, for each of the portions of data, a waveform representative of the portion of data, and transmitting each of the portions of data, using the generated waveform representations and in accordance with the values of the one or more communications parameters, to the receiver.

    摘要: A method of operating a communications device in a wireless communications network comprises transmitting a random access message on a wireless access interface, the random access message comprising a selected random access preamble. The method further comprises receiving a resource allocation message comprising an indication of downlink communications resources allocated for the transmission of a random access response message combined with a radio network terminal identifier which identifies the communications device which transmitted the random access message, determining that the resource allocation message identifies the communications device, and in response to determining that the resource allocation message identities the communications device, decoding the signals transmitted using the allocated downlink communications resources.
