According to various embodiments, a mobile radio communication device may be provided. The mobile radio communication device may include a receiver configured to receive information; a requirement determiner configured to determine whether first broadcast information scheduled to be received from a first base station is required; and a receiver controller configured to control the receiver to receive the first broadcast information from the first base station in case it is determined that the first broadcast information is required and to control the receiver to receive second broadcast information from a second base station in case it is determined that the first broadcast information is not required.

Mobile radio communication devices and methods for controlling a mobile radio communication device

A wireless device may receive a BA-list from a wireless service provider. Before removing any cell frequencies already stored in the wireless device, the wireless device may determine if the BA-list is complete. If the BA-list is not complete, the cell frequencies already stored in the wireless device may be retained, and the cell frequencies received in the BA-list may be added to the storage. However, if the BA-list is complete, the cell frequencies already stored in the wireless device may be removed if they are not in the BA-list.

Frequency retention and reuse

A method for performing mobile communications may include receiving a first multimedia broadcast or multicast stream from a serving cell; determining whether or not a neighbor cell is capable of providing the first multimedia broadcast or multicast stream to generate a first determination result; and initiating neighbor cell protocol operations with the neighbor cell according to a first set of threshold criteria if the first determination result is negative and initiating neighbor cell protocol operations with the neighbor cell according to a second set of threshold criteria if the first determination result is positive. The neighbor cell protocol operations are cell measurements of the neighbor cell or cell reselection to the neighbor cell.

Method for performing mobile communications and mobile radio communication terminal device

A radio communication device may be provided. The radio communication device may include: a measurement circuit configured to measure a reception quality of a signal from a second radio communication device; a memory configured to store signal information indicating the reception quality of the signal measured by the measurement circuit; a configuration information receiver configured to receive configuration information for the radio communication device based on the measured reception quality; a quality indication determination circuit configured to determine a quality indication of a communication with the second radio communication device based on the stored signal information and the received configuration information; and a connection establishing determination circuit configured to determine whether to establish a connection for communication with the second radio communication device based on the determined quality indication.

Radio communication devices and methods for controlling a radio communication device

A cell transfer controller is described comprising a detector configured to detect radio cells available for a mobile terminal; a determiner configured to determine, for a first radio cell detected by the detector, a waiting period after which the radio cell is selectable by the cell transfer controller as a target cell for a cell transfer and a controller, configured to increase the length of the waiting period in case that during the waiting period, the detector detects a second radio cell which fulfills a predetermined criterion.

Cell transfer controller and method for selecting a radio cell

In various embodiments, a method for receiving synchronization signals of a mobile radio network is provided. The method may include communicating, by using a transmitting/receiving device for mobile radio signals, with a mobile radio network via a dedicated communication link; and receiving, by using the transmitting/receiving device, synchronization signals of another mobile radio network during a transmission gap in the dedicated communication link, the transmitting/receiving device not being set up for receiving signals of the other mobile radio network independently of the dedicated communication link.

Method for receiving synchronization signals of a mobile radio network and transmitting/receiving device for mobile radio signals

A communication device including a memory configured to store a plurality of device resource profiles, wherein each device resource profile specifies device resources of the communication device and is associated with a respective communication connection state of a plurality of communication connection states; a determining circuit configured to determine a communication connection state of a communication connection of the communication device; and a control circuit configured to set device resources of the communication device in accordance with the device resource profile associated with the communication connection state of the communication connection.

Communication device and method for setting device resources

The communication of data between two coupled processors is controlled using a ready-to-receive signal which is provided by the first processor such that it has an activated signal level or a deactivated signal level and which is used to indicate to the second processor that the first processor is or is not ready to receive data. The second processor is able to change from the awake state to a sleep state and to change back from the sleep state to the awake state. The second processor detects when the first processor changes the ready-to-receive signal from the deactivated signal level to the activated signal level while the second processor is in the sleep state and, in this case, determines that the changing of the ready-to-receive signal is a request to change to the awake state.
