Abstract:
A mobile communications network includes one or more network elements providing a wireless access interface for communications devices. The wireless access interface provides plural communications resource elements across a host frequency range of a host carrier. First and second sections of communications resources within respective first and second frequency ranges for preferable allocation to reduced capability devices form respective first and second virtual carriers. Each of the first and second frequency ranges is within the host frequency range, wherein the communications device is configured with a reduced capability to receive the signals only within a frequency bandwidth less than the host frequency range and equal to at least one of the first or second frequency range. The communications device is configured to receive the first signalling data from the control channel and the common system information from the one or more communications resources identified by the first signalling data.

Claim (Index 1):
An infrastructure equipment for forming part of a mobile communications network, the infrastructure equipment comprising:\n a transmitter unit configured to transmit signals to communications devices via a wireless access interface, a receiver unit configured to receive signals transmitted from communications devices via the wireless access interface, and a controller configured to control the transmitter unit and the receiver unit to form the wireless access interface providing a plurality of communications resource elements across a host frequency bandwidth, and providing a first section of the communications resources within a first frequency range for preferable allocation to reduced capability devices forming a first virtual carrier and a second section of the communications resources within a second frequency range for preferable allocation to the reduced capability devices forming a second virtual carrier, each of the first frequency range and the second frequency range being within the host frequency range, wherein the wireless access interface includes a plurality of time divided sub-frames, and at least one of the sub-frames includes a control channel in a part of the sub-frame, and the controller is configured in combination with the transmitter unit to transmit first signalling data to reduced capability devices, the reduced capability devices having a capability to receive the signals only within a frequency bandwidth which is less than the host frequency range and equal to at least one of the first frequency range and the second frequency range, and the first signalling data identifies a location of one or more of the communications resources from which the reduced capability devices can receive common system information, the common system information providing information which is common to the reduced capability devices receiving signals from the first virtual carrier and the second virtual carrier and is valid for use by the reduced capability devices beyond the sub-frame.
