  • storing allocation data defining persistently allocated resources for use in communicating data between the node and another node of the communications system within predetermined transmission time intervals;

    receiving control data relating to a dynamic allocation of resources to be used in a current transmission time interval, the received control data comprising modulation data;

    determining if the received control data includes modulation data comprising a predefined bit pattern relating to persistently allocated resources;

    if the determining determines that the received control data does include said modulation data comprising the predefined bit pattern, then changing the stored allocation data defining the persistently allocated resources; and

    if the determining determines that the received control data does not include said modulation data comprising the predefined bit pattern, then communicating with the another node using the dynamic allocation of resources defined by the received control data.
