1. A method of operating a base station in a telecommunications system comprising the base station and a plurality of terminal devices arranged to communicate with the base station over a radio interface supporting a downlink shared channel for conveying user-plane data from the base station to the terminal devices and a downlink control channel for conveying control-plane data from the base station to the terminal devices, wherein the control-plane data conveys information on physical resource allocations for the downlink shared channel for respective ones of the terminal devices, and wherein the radio interface is based on a radio frame structure comprising a plurality of subframes, wherein each subframe comprises a control region for supporting the downlink control channel and a user-plane region for supporting the downlink shared channel, and wherein the method comprises transmitting in the control region of a first radio subframe an indication of a physical resource allocation for a first terminal device on the shared downlink channel in the user-plane region of a second radio subframe, and subsequently transmitting user-plane data on the physical resource allocation for the first terminal device on the shared downlink channel in the user-plane region of the second radio subframe.
