Abstract

A method of operating network infrastructure equipment in a wireless telecommunications system configured to support communications between the network infrastructure equipment and terminal devices using a primary component carrier operating on radio resources within a first frequency band and a secondary component carrier operating on radio resources within a second frequency band. The method includes: transmitting a request message to plural terminal devices to request that at least some of plural terminal devices make measurements of radio channel conditions for radio resources within the second frequency band in accordance with a measurement configuration associated with the request message; receiving measurement reports from at least some of plural terminal devices indicating their respective measurements of radio channel conditions; and establishing an operating characteristic for the secondary component carrier based on the measurement reports.
