Abstract
A communications device configured to detect one or more beams of signals transmitted by each of a plurality of infrastructure equipment forming a plurality of cells of the wireless communications network, each of the beams being separately identifiable and forming a directional bias with respect to a location of the infrastructure equipment. The communications device is configured to perform measurements for evaluating a quality of the plurality of cells including one or more beams on signals received from each of the detected beams, to determine from the evaluation of each of the cells, and if one or more of the cells satisfies predetermined conditions to perform a process for identifying one or more of the cells which should be used by the communications device for transmitting data.
