Claim 13:
14. The circuitry for the communications device as claimed in claim 13, wherein the controller is configured in combination with the transmitter and the receiver
to select the one of the wireless access interfaces provided by the one or more neighbouring infrastructure equipment or the serving infrastructure,
if one of the neighbouring infrastructure equipment provides a wireless access interface with a higher relative priority than the wireless access interface of the serving infrastructure equipment, and the signal reception metric of the higher priority wireless access interface exceeds a first predetermined threshold associated with selecting a higher priority wireless access interface, then selecting, by the communications device the higher relative priority wireless access interface, or
if the signal reception metric of the serving wireless access interface is below a second predetermined threshold associated with selecting a lower priority wireless access interface, and one of the neighbouring infrastructure equipment provides a wireless access interface or an enhanced wireless access interface with a lower relative priority than the serving wireless access interface of the selected infrastructure equipment,
then to select the lower relative priority wireless access interface or enhanced wireless access interface if the signal reception metric of the lower priority wireless access interface exceeds a third predetermined threshold associated with selecting a lower priority wireless access interface or enhanced wireless access interface.
