1. A communications device for use in a wireless communications network, the communications device comprising
transmitter circuitry configured to transmit signals on communications resources of a wireless access interface of the wireless communications network,
receiver circuitry configured to receive signals transmitted on the communications resources of the wireless access interface, and
controller circuitry configured to control the transmitter and the receiver to transmit data representing the signals, the controller being configured
to determine communications resources of the wireless access interface to be used to transmit the signals representing the data to be transmitted, and
to determine a schedule for monitoring the wireless access interface to receive control information, wherein the monitoring schedule is based on the determined communications resources to be used to transmit the data, and the control information is monitored for a pre-emption indication that at least a portion of the determined communications resources are allocated for transmitting signals by another communications device.
