Abstract: A request for a capability report is sent to one or more user equipment from at least one access point (200). The requested capability report indicates an actual amount of maximum power reduction and/or additional maximum power reduction applied to one or more network signalling values by the one or more user equipment, which can be can be absolute values or delta. The capability report is sent only if it is determined that an actual amount of maximum.

Abstract: Measures for mitigating interference in wireless communications of a user equipment comprising a plurality of radio transceivers. The user equipment determines that wireless communication using a given combination of uplink and/or downlink carrier bands associated with the plurality of radio transceivers causes an interference scenario. In response to the determination, the user equipment transmits, into a radio network, an indication of at least one preferred uplink carrier band for at least one of the plurality of radio transceivers. The indication transmitted by the user equipment is received at a network node in the radio network which may choose to carryout radio resource control in the radio network at least on the basis of the received indication.

Abstract: An integrated circuit for a radio receiver comprising a radio-frequency amplifier and a radio-frequency filter is described. The amplifier receives radio-frequency signals from an antenna, the filter is connected to the amplifier output, and the output of the filter is provided to a processing stage of the receiver. The amplifier comprises an amplifying stage controlled by a radio-frequency input signal and a signal fed back from the filter. The amplifier input impedance is substantially matched to the antenna impedance at a frequency band of interest. The signal fed back from the filter providing attenuation of signals outside the frequency band of interest at the amplifier input. The filter comprises one or more filter components.
