A method is disclosed—for a wireless communication device served by a network access node—of keeping a time reference at the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device is configured for operation according to at least first and second operational modes, the second operational mode having lower power consumption than the first operational mode. The method comprises (during operation according to the first operational mode) determining (for the second operational mode) desired timings of timing signals to be transmitted from the network access node, and transmitting a request signal to the network access node, wherein the request signal carries information of the desired timings of timing signals to be transmitted from the network access node. In some embodiments, the method further comprises receiving a response signal from the network access node, wherein the response signal carries information of actual timings of timing signals to be transmitted from the network access node. Corresponding method for a network access node, apparatuses, wireless communication device, network access node and computer program product are also disclosed.

Keeping a time reference

A method for transitioning between user profiles in an electronic user device during use of the electronic user device wherein the electronic user device comprises a fingerprint sensor operatively connected to a touch sensor of the electronic user device is disclosed. The method comprises sensing (), by the fingerprint sensor, at least a part of a fingerprint at a determined position and area of a detected touch, and determining (), by a fingerprint controller configured to control the fingerprint sensor, whether the sensed part of the fingerprint corresponds to a registered user of the electronic user device. The method further comprises, when the sensed part of the fingerprint corresponds to a registered user of the electronic user device, authenticating () the registered user based on the sensed fingerprint, and applying (), by a settings controller configured to control the settings of the electronic user device, settings of a user profile associated with the registered user in the electronic user device. Corresponding computer program product, apparatus, and system are also disclosed.
