ICAO Radio Failure Procedures

Can somebody please explain the descent segment of this procedure. The procedure states " Proceed according to the current flight plan route to the designated navigation aid or fix serving the destination aerodrome hold over this aid or fix until commencement of descent".

1. If one is cruising at FL340 does it mean that altitude is maintained and descent commences over the designated nav aid or fix? OR does it mean descent is commenced at the normal point in the Flight Plan and holding is maintained at a point appropriate for the runway in use.

2. There are some airports where there are no designated navaid or fix. What is the procedure then?

Thanks
