A method of transmitting or receiving signals by a communications device communicating under control of a wireless communications network, the method comprising receiving from an infrastructure equipment of the wireless communications network slot configuration information indicating a configuration of one or more time divided slots of a wireless access interface provided by the wireless communications network for communicating data to the communications device in a downlink and receiving data from the communications device in an uplink, the time divided slots of the wireless access interface each providing a plurality of symbols on one of more radio frequency carrier signals which can be configured differently for use by the communications device or the infrastructure equipment, the slot configuration information including an indication that one or more of the plurality of symbols are to be used for transmitting signals from the communications device or that one or more of the plurality of symbols are to be used for receiving signals at the communications device, and in accordance with the received slot configuration information receiving signals by the communications device in each of the one or more time slots on the one or more of the symbols allocated from receiving signals, and transmitting signals from the communications device in each of the one or more time slots on the one or more of the symbols allocated to the communications device for transmitting signals, wherein the receiving the slot configuration information from the infrastructure equipment comprises receiving first slot configuration information from the infrastructure equipment indicating the configuration of a first plurality of the time slots, and receiving, subsequently, at least one other slot configuration information from the infrastructure equipment indicating the configuration of one or more of the first plurality of time slots, and if the at least one other slot configuration information indicates that one or more of the symbols of each of the one or more time slots are configured differently to the first slot configuration information, determining one or both of a rate of change of the first slot configuration information and the at least one other slot configuration information and a valid time duration of the first slot configuration information and the at least one other slot configuration information, and determining a configuration of the differently configured one or more symbols by the communications device according to a conflict resolution rule based on the determined rate of change and/or valid time duration of the first slot configuration information and the determined rate of change and/or valid time duration of the at least one other slot configuration information. receiving from an infrastructure equipment of the wireless communications network slot configuration information indicating a configuration of one or more time

received slot configuration information receiving signals by the communications device in each of the one or more time slots on the one or more of the symbols allocated from receiving signals, and transmitting signals from the communications device in each of the one or more time slots on the one or more of the symbols allocated to the communications device for transmitting signals, wherein the receiving the slot configuration information from the infrastructure equipment comprises receiving first slot configuration information from the infrastructure equipment indicating the configuration of a first plurality of the time slots, and receiving, subsequently, at least one other slot configuration information from the infrastructure equipment indicating the configuration of one or more of the first plurality of time slots, and if the at least one other slot configuration information indicates that one or more of the symbols of each of the one or more time slots are configured differently to the first slot configuration information, determining one or both of a rate of change of the first slot configuration information and the at least one other slot configuration information and a valid time duration of the first slot configuration information and the at least one other slot configuration information, and determining a configuration of the differently configured one or more symbols by the communications device according to a conflict resolution rule based on the determined rate of change and/or valid time duration of the first slot configuration information and the determined rate of change and/or valid time duration of the at least one other slot configuration information.
