Abstract
A communications device can transmit and receive data via a wireless access interface provided by a mobile communications network including an infrastructure equipment for transmitting signals to or receiving signals from the communications device. The wireless access interface provides a primary carrier within a first frequency range, which forms a primary cell providing a contiguous set of communications resources across the first frequency range and providing one or more control channels for transmitting signaling message to the communications device or receiving signaling messages from the infrastructure equipment. A controller in combination with a receiver and transmitter can receive from the infrastructure equipment a signaling message identifying a nested carrier including one or more candidate channels selected from a predefined plurality of candidate channels within a second frequency range which is different to and mutually exclusive from the first frequency range.
