1. An infrastructure equipment forming part of a mobile communications network configured to transmit signals to and receive signals from one or more communications devices, the infrastructure equipment comprising
a receiver configured to receive signals on the uplink from the one or more communications devices via a wireless access interface of the mobile communications network,
a transmitter configured to transmit signals on the downlink to the one or more communications devices via the wireless access interface, and
a controller configured to control the receiver to receive the signals and to control the transmitter to transmit the signals, wherein the controller is configured in combination with the receiver and the transmitter
to determine whether a duration of reception of signals from one of the communications devices exceeds a predetermined threshold, wherein the duration of reception of signals corresponds to a continuous reception time of a single uplink transmission, wherein the continuous reception time is measured from a start of receiving the single uplink transmission to an end of receiving the single uplink transmission, and if so subsequently
to delay transmission of signals to the one of the communications devices for a predetermined period following the reception of the signals from the one of the communications devices.
