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 25):
A terminal device for use with a wireless telecommunications network, the terminal device comprising:\n a transceiver configured to transmit information indicative of a plurality of communication resources, each of the indicated plurality of communication resources being allocated for use by each of the terminal devices in a group of terminal devices in transmitting signals to the wireless telecommunications network via the terminal device on a contention basis, when the terminal device provides a local cell for providing wireless connectivity for the group of terminal devices; and a controller configured to: monitor the allocated communication resources for signals received at the transceiver from the terminal devices of the group, the monitoring comprising performing an operation with respect to each of the allocated communication resources to determine whether a signal has been received by the transceiver via that communication resource from a single identified one of the terminal devices of the group; and if it is determined that a signal has been received by the transceiver via one of the allocated communication resources from a single identified one of the terminal devices of the group, control the transceiver to transmit an acknowledgement message to the identified terminal device and transmit, to each of the terminal devices in the group, reservation information indicative of one or more of the allocated communication resources which are reserved for use by the identified terminal device.
