Abstract:
The present technique provides a first terminal device for exchanging signals with a wireless telecommunications network and a plurality of second terminal devices, the first terminal device configured to exchange signals with each of the plurality of second terminal devices, when the first terminal device provides a local cell for providing wireless connectivity for the plurality of second terminal devices, and to exchange signals with one or more infrastructure equipment of the wireless telecommunications network, and receive, from each of the plurality of second terminal devices served by the first terminal device when providing the local cell, suitability information indicative of the suitability of each of one or more other terminal devices or infrastructure equipment of the wireless telecommunications network to exchange signals with that second terminal device to provide for that second terminal devices another local cell.

Claim (Index 15):
A terminal device for use with a wireless telecommunications network as one of a group of terminal devices, the terminal device comprising:\n a transceiver configured to receive information indicative of a plurality of communication resources, each of the indicated plurality of communication resources being allocated for use by the terminal devices of the group in transmitting signals to the wireless telecommunications network on a contention basis; and a controller configured to control the transceiver to transmit a first signal to the wireless telecommunications network using a selected one of the allocated communication resources:\n to determine whether the transceiver has received an acknowledgement message from the wireless telecommunications network: \n if it is determined that the transceiver has received an acknowledgement message, determine that the first signal has been successfully received by the wireless telecommunications network; and if it is determined that the transceiver has not received an acknowledgement message, control the transceiver to re-transmit the first signal to the wireless telecommunications network, wherein the controller is configured in combination with the transceiver to perform a random selection operation by randomly selecting the one of the allocated communications resources for transmitting the first signal from the plurality of communication resources allocated to the group of terminal devices.
