A method of communicating in a wireless telecommunications system comprising a communications device , a master cell group comprising one or more infrastructure equipment of a first type and a secondary cell group comprising one or more infrastructure equipment of a second type , the communications device being in a coverage area of one of the infrastructure equipment of the first type and a coverage area of at least one of the infrastructure equipment of the second type, wherein the communications device is configured to transmit signals to and receive signals from the infrastructure equipment of the first type in accordance with a first communications protocol and to transmit signals to and receive signals from the at least one infrastructure equipment of the second type in accordance with a second communications protocol, the second communications protocol being different to the first communications protocol, the method comprising establishing (S1802) a measurement of radio conditions associated with a first communications path between the communications device and the infrastructure equipment of the first type, determining (S1803) that the first communications path is not appropriate for use by the communications device, transmitting (S1804) a failure message from the communications device to one of the infrastructure equipment of the second type via a second communications path, the failure message providing information regarding the determination that the first communications path is not appropriate for use by the communications device, receiving (S1805) at the communications device a signal comprising a reconfiguration message from the one of the infrastructure equipment of the second type via the second communications path, and establishing (S1806), using the reconfiguration message, signals to be transmitted by the communications device and signals to be received by the communications device; characterized by : the reconfiguration message comprises either: an indication that the one or more infrastructure equipment of the second type should become the master cell group and an indication that the one or more infrastructure equipment of the first type should become the secondary cell group or an indication that the communications device should transmit signals to and receive signals from only the one or more infrastructure equipment of the second type. establishing (S1802) a measurement of radio conditions associated with a first communications path between the communications device and the infrastructure equipment of the first type, determining (S1803) that the first communications path is not appropriate for use by the communications device, transmitting (S1804) a failure message from the communications device to one of the infrastructure equipment of the second type via a second communications path, the failure message providing information regarding the determination that the first communications path is not appropriate for use by the communications device, receiving (S1805) at the communications device a signal comprising a reconfiguration message from the one of the infrastructure equipment of the second type via the second communications path, and establishing (S1806), using the reconfiguration message, signals to be transmitted by the communications device and signals to be received by the communications device; characterized by : the reconfiguration message comprises either: an indication that the one or more infrastructure equipment of the second type should become the master cell group and an indication that the one or more infrastructure equipment of the first type should become the secondary cell group or an indication that the communications device should transmit signals to and receive signals from only the one or more infrastructure equipment of the second type. <EOS>
