Communications device, infrastructure equipment and methods

An infrastructure equipment for use in a wireless communications network, the infrastructure equipment comprising

• transmitter circuitry configured to transmit signals via a wireless access interface provided by the wireless communications network,
• receiver circuitry configured to receive signals representing data transmitted via the wireless access interface of the wireless communications network, and
• controller circuitry configured to control the transmitter circuitry and the receiver circuitry so that the infrastructure equipment is operable
• to determine first communications resources of the wireless access interface for receiving the signals representing first data from a first communications device,
• based on the first communications resources, to determine a control information monitoring schedule for the first communications device, the monitoring schedule being based on the determined first communications resources to be used to receive the first data, and the control information providing a pre-emption indication that at least a portion of the first communications resources are allocated for receiving signals from another communications device.
