Communications device, infrastructure equipment and methods

A communications device for use in a wireless communications network, the wireless communications network comprising an infrastructure equipment providing a wireless access interface, the communications device comprising

• a transmitter configured to transmit signals via the wireless access interface,
• a receiver configured to receive signals, and
• a controller configured to control the transmitter and the receiver so that the communications device is operable:
• to determine that a plurality of communications resources overlap, the communications resources being configured for the transmission of data by the communications device,
• in response to determining that the plurality of communications resources overlap, to select communications resources comprising at least a portion of one or more of the plurality of communications resources,
• to select data to he transmitted using the selected communications resources, and
• to transmit the selected data using, the selected communications resources.

Circuitry for a communications device for use in a wireless communications network, the wireless communications network comprising an infrastructure equipment providing a wireless access interface, the circuitry comprising

• transmitter circuitry configured to transmit signals via the wireless access interface,
• receiver circuitry configured to receive signals, and
• controller circuitry configured to control the transmitter circuitry and the receiver circuitry so that the communications device is operable:
• to determine that a plurality of communications resources overlap, the communications resources being configured for the transmission of data by the communications device,
• in response to determining that the plurality of communications resources overlap, to select communications resources comprising at least a portion of one or more of the plurality of communications resources,
• to select data to be transmitted using the selected communications resources, and
• to transmit the selected data using the selected communications resources.
