System, method and base station for allocating resources in a plurality of subframes
First Claim
1. A method of operating a base station in a telecommunications system, the method comprising:
- transmitting, in a control region of a first radio subframe, at least (i) a first indication of a first physical resource allocation on a first shared downlink channel for a first terminal device in a first user-plane region of a second radio subframe and (ii) a second indication of a second physical resource allocation on a second shared downlink channel for the first terminal device in a second user-plane region of a third radio subframe; and
subsequently transmitting use-plane data on the first and second physical resource allocations for the first terminal device on the first and second shared downlink channels in the first and second user-plane regions of the second and third radio subframes, wherein the second radio subframe is transmitted with a delay after transmitting the first radio subframe, the delay being dependent on a class type of the first terminal device, wherein the class type includes at least a smartphone-type and a machine-type, the machine-type being semi-autonomous or autonomous wireless communication type terminal devices having bandwidth capabilities lower than smartphone-type terminal devices and the delay is increased when the class type is the machine-type.

Abstract
A method operating a telecommunications system including a base station and plural terminal devices arranged to communicate over a radio interface supporting a downlink shared channel conveying user-plane data from the base station to the terminal devices and a downlink control channel conveying control-plane data from the base station to the terminal devices. The control-plane data can convey information on physical resource allocations for the downlink shared channel for respective of the terminal devices. The radio interface uses a radio frame structure including plural subframes. Each subframe includes a control region supporting the downlink control channel and a user-plane region supporting the downlink shared channel. The method uses the control region of a first radio subframe to convey 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 subsequent to the first radio subframe.
