1. A method of operating a user equipment in a radio access network, the user equipment being configured with a transmission resource pool, the transmission resource pool comprising resources for transmission of response control signaling by the user equipment, the method comprising:
receiving characterising signaling;
transmitting response control signaling utilising a resource structure, the resource structure being selected from the transmission resource pool based on a signaling characteristic of the characterising signaling, the resource structure further being selected based on selection control information included in a received selection control message;
the signaling characteristic being related to control resource sets associated to specific time intervals of the resources of a reception resource pool that are used to select a range or subpool of resources from the transmission resource pool from which to select the resource structure; and
the selection control information being represented by an indicator to indicate the specific resources within the range or subpool of resources from the transmission resource pool.
