Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 16:
17. A base station for use in a wireless telecommunications system in which downlink communications are made by the base station using a radio interface that spans a system frequency bandwidth and the base station is configured to transmit at least some communications to at least one terminal device within a restricted subset of transmission resources selected from within the system frequency bandwidth and comprising a downlink channel having a channel bandwidth which is smaller than the system frequency bandwidth, and wherein the wireless telecommunications system supports the terminal device in a connected mode of operation in which the base station transmits a type of user-plane data to the terminal device using the restricted subset of transmission resources and an idle mode of operation in which the base station does not transmit the type of user-plane data to the terminal device, wherein the base station comprises:
a transceiver configured to transmit an indication that updated system information is to be broadcast by the base station while the terminal device is in the connected mode and
a controller configured to restrict the scheduling of user-plane data transmissions for the terminal device from a time associated with the broadcast of the updated system information until after the terminal device re-enters the connected mode after having transitioned to the idle mode following the transmission of the indication that updated system information is to be broadcast.
