1. An infrastructure equipment forming part of a wireless communications network, the infrastructure equipment configured to transmit data or receive data and comprising
transceiver circuitry configured to transmit signals and receive signals via a wireless access interface provided by the wireless communications network, and
controller circuitry configured in combination with the transceiver circuitry
to transmit, to a communications device, a first control signal providing an indication of a set of downlink communications resources of the wireless access interface in which the infrastructure equipment is going to transmit a plurality of transport blocks to the communications device, wherein the plurality of transport blocks comprises a first plurality of transport blocks that are to be transmitted in a first set of downlink communications resources and a second plurality of transport blocks that are to be transmitted in a second set of downlink communications resources, the first set of downlink communications resources and the second set of downlink communications resources being separated in time by a scheduling gap formed by a third set of downlink communications resources of the wireless access interface, and
to transmit, to the communications device during the scheduling gap, a second control signal providing an indication of at least one change relating to the second plurality of transport blocks.
