Claim 18:
19. A communications device for transmitting data to or receiving data from an infrastructure equipment forming part of a wireless communications network, the communications device comprising:
transmitter circuitry configured to transmit signals to the infrastructure equipment via a wireless access interface provided by the wireless communications network,
receiver circuitry configured to receive signals from the infrastructure equipment via the wireless access interface, and
controller circuitry configured in combination with the receiver circuitry and the transmitter circuitry
to determine uplink communications resources of the wireless access interface to be used for the transmission of data by the communications device to the infrastructure equipment,
to receive, from the infrastructure equipment via the wireless radio interface, an uplink pre-emption indicator that indicates that at least a portion of the uplink communications resources are allocated for the transmission of signals by another communications device, the at least the portion of the uplink communications resources being located within communications resources of a reference region associated with the uplink pre-emption indicator, and
to adjust one or more communications parameters for the transmission of signals representing the data in the uplink communications resources in response to receiving the uplink pre-emption indicator,
wherein the uplink pre-emption indicator is used for both pre-allocated uplink communication resources and dynamically allocated uplink communication resources.
