1. A method of operating network infrastructure equipment in a wireless telecommunications system for communicating with a terminal device on a primary cell supporting a primary component carrier on radio resources within a first frequency band and a secondary cell supporting a secondary component carrier on radio resources within a second frequency band, wherein the method comprises:
transmitting to the terminal device an allocation message indicating an allocation of transmission resources to be used by for communicating data to the terminal device on the secondary component carrier;
transmitting to the terminal device in association with the allocation message an indication of a selected one of a plurality of configuration settings for the secondary component carrier to be used for communicating the data in at least one of a same time block as the allocation message with which it is associated and a time block that is before a time block containing the allocation message with which it is associated; and
transmitting the data to the terminal device using the allocated resources on the secondary component carrier operating in accordance with the selected one of the plurality of configuration settings.
