The present disclosure relates to communications devices and methods of controlling communications devices. According to one example, a communications device for transmitting data to and receiving data from a mobile communications network comprising one or more infrastructure equipment is provided. The communications device comprises a transmitter configured to transmit in one of a plurality of segments of an available channel bandwidth signals representing the data via a wireless access interface to the mobile communications network, a receiver configured to receive in one of the plurality of segments signals representing the data via the wireless access interface from the mobile communications network, and a controller configured to control the transmitter and the receiver to transmit in one of the plurality of segments and to receive in one of the plurality of segments the data via the wireless access interface. The controller is configured in combination with the transmitter and the receiver to measure a relative quality of signals received by the receiver in each of the plurality of segments, to transmit a measurement report to the mobile communications network, the measurement report comprising the measured relative quality of signals in each of the plurality of segments, and wherein, upon predetermined conditions being met, to skip the measuring of the relative quality of signals received in one or more of the plurality of segments. In another example, the controller is configured in combination with the transmitter and the receiver to measure a relative quality of signals received by the receiver in each of the plurality of segments, to transmit a measurement report to the mobile communications network, the measurement report comprising the measured relative quality of signals in each of the plurality of segments, and wherein, upon predetermined conditions being met, to skip the transmitting of the measurement report to the mobile communications network. |
