1. A communications device configured to transmit data to or receive the data from an infrastructure equipment of a wireless communications network, the communications device comprising:
transceiver circuitry configured to transmit signals and receive the signals via a wireless access interface provided by the wireless communications network, and
controller circuitry configured in combination with the transceiver circuitry
to receive, from the infrastructure equipment, in one of a plurality of sets of radio resources each forming a physical downlink control channel (PDDCH) in a first time divided slot of the wireless access interface, one of an uplink grant indicating an allocation of radio resources forming a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of the wireless access interface and a downlink grant indicating an allocation of radio resources forming a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) of the wireless access interface,
to determine if a specified condition has been met, and
in response to the specified condition being met, the controller circuitry is configured in combination with the transceiver circuitry to determine the one of the allocation of radio resources forming the PUSCH from the uplink grant and the allocation of radio resources forming the PDSCH from the downlink grant based on at least a first parameter, wherein the communications device is configured to interpret a value of the first parameter as indicating a number of symbols between a specified point associated with the PDCCH in which the one of the uplink grant and the downlink grant was received and a first symbol of the one of the PUSCH and the PDSCH, and
in response to the specified condition not being met, the controller circuitry is configured in combination with the transceiver circuitry to determine the one of the allocation of radio resources forming the PUSCH from the uplink grant and the allocation of radio resources forming the PDSCH from the downlink grant based on at least the first parameter, wherein the communications device is configured to interpret a value of the first parameter as indicating a number of symbols between a start of the first time divided slot and a first symbol of the one of the PUSCH and the PDSCH,
wherein the specified condition includes at least a value of a second parameter, and the second parameter indicates a number of time divided slots of the wireless access interface after the first time divided slot to a second time divided slot of the wireless access interface within which the one of the PUSCH and the PDSCH is located.
