Abstract: A user equipment, UE, performs measurements based on a plurality of RLM sources received in beam-formed downlink signals, where the measurements indicate a quality of a given cell or beam. The plurality of sources comprises two or more of: first reference signals (RSs), second RSs of a different type than the first RSs, and one or more physical channel quality indicators obtained from non-reference-signal data in the beam-formed downlink signals.
