A communications system including infrastructure equipment providing a wireless interface to a communications device including a controller and a transceiver configured to transmit/receive signals representing the data to/from the infrastructure equipment over the wireless interface. The transceiver can transmit a request for services message to the infrastructure equipment, and receive a response message. The request for services message includes a delay period and the infrastructure equipment, in response to receiving the request for services message, processes the request to form the response message and stores the response message for transmission to the communications device. The response message is stored until expiry of the delay period or transmission of the response message, and the controller after transmission of the request for services can configure the transceiver to enter a reduced power state and to exit the reduced power state to receive the response message. |
