Abstract
A wireless telecommunications system including first and second groups of terminal devices operable to communicate with a base station via respective first and second network nodes. Each of the first and second groups of terminal devices are synchronized to communicate with the first and second network nodes, respectively, in a discontinuous mode including a repeating signalling cycle including first and second wake periods. The first wake period is a first portion of the repeating signalling cycle and the start of the first wake period is defined by a first offset value relative to the start of the repeating signalling cycle. The second wake period is a second portion of the repeating signalling cycle and the start of the second wake period is defined by a second offset value relative to the start of the repeating signalling cycle, being different from the first offset value.
