Abstract: A receiving device for a wireless communication system, is configured to: monitor a reference signal associated with a control channel, the control channel being associated with a serving beam link; determine a channel quality measure based on the reference signal; and declare a beam link failure for the serving beam link based on the channel quality measure and a configuration of the control channel.

Abstract: The application relates to a processing device (100) including a buffer (102) coupled to a system bus, a ciphering device coupled to the system bus, and a memory coupled to the ciphering device. The processing device is configured to operate in at least one of a deciphering mode and a ciphering mode. In the deciphering mode, the ciphering device is configured to receive a ciphered data unit directly from the buffer over the system bus, decipher the ciphered data unit so as to obtain a deciphered data unit, and transfer the deciphered data unit to the memory. In the ciphering mode, the ciphering device is configured to receive a data unit from the memory, cipher the data unit so as to obtain a ciphered data unit, and transfer the ciphered data unit directly to the buffer over the system bus.

Abstract: Functionalities for a user equipment (UE) in a communication system in order to be able to receive broadcast information, such as TV and other multimedia, with good quality are described. In particular, methods and apparatus that schedule system measurement procedures such that the risk of interrupting the broadcast reception is minimized are described.

Abstract: A system and method for suppressing disturbance signal components in a communication signal is disclosed. The system and method utilize a priori information about the fundamental frequency of the disturbance signal component to generate an estimate of the disturbance signal component. This estimated disturbance signal may be subtracted from the communication signal to suppress the disturbance signal component in the communication signal.
