1. A method of transmitting uplink data by a communications device in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
receiving an indication of first communications resources allocated for a transmission of data by the communications device and associated with encoding parameters,
determining that first uplink data is available for transmission,
selecting the first communications resources for the transmission of the first uplink data,
selecting encoding parameters different from the encoding parameters associated with the first communications resources,
forming a transport block comprising the first uplink data in accordance with the selected encoding parameters, and
transmitting, using the first communications resources, the transport block and an indication of the selected encoding parameters, the indication of the selected encoding parameters being transmitted as one bit in hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback, the method further comprising:
receiving an indication of the encoding parameters associated with the first communications resources, the indication of the encoding parameters comprising a first index value associated with a first row of a first predetermined table of encoding parameters, wherein
the selected encoding parameters are selected from a second row of a second predetermined table of encoding parameters, the second row associated with a second index value, the second index value being determined from the first index value according to a predetermined rule.
