There is described a method of operating a user equipment in a radio access network. The method comprises transmitting signaling based on a sounding reference signaling schedule, the sounding reference signaling schedule scheduling transmission of sounding reference signaling in a first time interval, wherein the first time interval overlaps, in an overlap time interval, with a second time interval, for which physical channel signaling is scheduled, wherein transmitting signaling comprises transmitting, in the overlap time interval, the physical channel signaling omitting the scheduled sounding reference signaling. The disclosure also pertains to related devices and methods.

Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a network node for enabling verification of a broadcast message transmitted from the network node to a wireless device. The network node signals a first public key, to the wireless device, using a secure connection. The network node further transmits a first broadcast message protected by a signature. The signature is generated from at least a protected part of the first broadcast message using a first private key, the first private key being associated with the first public key.

The system comprises at least two APUs connected 5 in series from a CPU and serves at least two UEs. According to the method, channel estimates for channels to the served UEs are obtained and based on these, a precoding filter is determined. The precoding filter is going to be applied to signals that are to be transmitted from the first APU to the UEs. Thereafter, based on the determined precoding filter and the obtained channel estimates, effective precoded channels for the 0 signals to the UEs are determined. These represent the effective channel created after the precoding filter being applied to each channel for the UEs. The effective precoded channels are transmitted to at least one subsequent second APU.
