摘要

A communications system, including a mobile radio network including local base stations to communicate data to and from mobile communications devices via a wireless access interface. The mobile radio network is adapted to include a message processor and a message store, the message store arranged to store an indication of each of one or more message exchanges in a set of predetermined message exchanges between the base stations and one or more of the communications devices, each message exchange including a predetermined set of predetermined messages and requiring predetermined up-link and/or down-link communications resource for communicating the message exchange on the up-link and/or down-link, between a base station and the communications device.

1. A communications system, comprising:
a mobile radio network including one or more base stations that communicate data to and from communications devices via a wireless access interface, wherein the one or more base stations include a message processor and a message memory, the message memory stores an indication of each of one or more message exchanges in a set of predetermined message exchanges between the one or more base stations and one or more of the communications devices, each message exchange comprising a set of predetermined messages and requiring predetermined uplink and/or down-link communications resource for communicating the message exchange on the up-link and/or down-link between a base station and the one or more of the communications devices, the message processor is configured to
generate, using each indication of the one or more message exchanges stored in the message memory, a conversation allocation message for communication to the one or more of the communications devices, the conversation allocation message providing an indication to the one or more of the communications devices of an allocation of the communications resource on the down-link and/or the up-link for communicating the one or more messages of the message exchange,communicate the conversation allocation message to the one or more of the communications devices, andtransmit a broadcast signal that indicates the set of predetermined messages which are available for communication via the one or more base stations using the conversation allocation message, and in response to the conversation allocation message, each of the one or more of the communications devices and a corresponding base station communicate the one or more messages of the message exchange using the communications resource allocated by the conversation allocation message.
