1. A method of configuring transmissions in a mobile telecommunications network based on a target error rate for the transmissions, the transmissions being between a first mobile node of the mobile telecommunications network and a second mobile node of the mobile telecommunications network, the method comprising:
in an initialisation phase, the first and second mobile nodes communicating in accordance with a first error rate and a first communication configuration, wherein the first error rate is greater than the target error rate and the initialisation phase is at least one transport block long;
measuring an initial transmission quality associated with transmissions in the initialisation phase;
based on the initial transmission quality associated with the first communication configuration, determining a second communication configuration corresponding to the target error rate; and
in a stable phase, the first and second mobile nodes communicating in accordance with the target error rate and the second communication configuration,
wherein downlink transmission sub-slots in the initialisation phase are shorter than downlink transmission sub-slots in the stable phase.
