Claim:
1. A method of operating a terminal device for communicating with a base station in a telecommunications system over a radio interface, the method comprising: receiving, in a control region of a first radio subframe, an indication of a physical resource allocation for the terminal device on a shared downlink channel in an user-plane region of a second radio subframe; and subsequently receiving user plane data on the physical resource allocation for the terminal device on the shared downlink channel in the user-plane region of the second radio subframe, wherein the second radio subframe is transmitted with a delay after transmitting the first radio subframe, the delay being adjusted dependent on a class type of the 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.
