    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a wireless communication device and method. The example wireless communication device is configured to communicate with an energy distributor, where the wireless communication device includes a rechargeable energy storage configured to supply the wireless communication device with energy to maintain operation of the wireless communication device. The device also includes a transmitter configured to transmit an energy status message to the energy distributor. The device further includes a receiver configured to extract energy from a wireless signal received by the wireless communication device from an energy provider, the wireless signal received in response to the energy status message transmitted to the energy distributor. The receiver can then recharge the rechargeable energy storage using the energy extracted from the wireless signal.

    Abstract: Embodiments relate to an apparatus for adjusting channel quality indicator measurements of a channel between a client device and a serving device within a wireless communication system. The apparatus includes a controller adapted to receive, from the client device, a first information and, when the client device is in a handover zone, a second information. The controller is further adapted to transmit according to a switching sequence either the first information alone or the first information together with the second information. The apparatus also includes an adjustment function entity adapted to receive the first information together with the second information and adapted to adjust the first information based on the second information by modifying it or keeping it unchanged. The first information is related to the CQI measurements, while the second information is related to a handover (HO).
