A mobile communications device is arranged to communicate data to and/or from a mobile communications network, the mobile communications device being arranged in operation to communicate an indication of a relative type of data packets for communication via a communications bearer for supporting a communications session of the mobile communications device, the indication of the type of the data packets being used to configure the communications bearer, and to communicate the data packets via the communications bearer to one or more of the infrastructure equipment via one or more of the base stations in accordance with the indication of the type of the data packets, the communication of the data packets via the communications bearer being controlled by the mobile communications network in accordance with the type of data packets being communicated via the communications bearer. By providing an indication of the relative type of the data packets, such as an indication that the data packets are of low priority or are generated or being received by a machine type communication application, the mobile communications network can control the communication of the data packets from the communications bearer differently to data packets communicated via other communications bearer having a higher priority. In one example the mobile communications network buffers data packets from a low priority and/or machine type communication application but not data packets of a higher priority, when the mobile communications network is experiencing congestion. |
