Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms to determine a selective buffering of various trace data to different respective buffers. In an embodiment, sort rules indicate trace data attributes that are each to correspond to a different respective buffer. The sort rules are enforced during a runtime session to concurrently sort different items of trace data, based on associated trace data attributes, for storage each to a corresponding buffer. In another embodiment, trigger rules are enforced during the runtime session to selectively debuffer only some trace data based on trigger conditions variously corresponding to different respective trace data types. In still another embodiment, enforcement of sort rules and/or trigger rules is modified during the runtime session to enable dynamic changes to the buffering or debuffering of trace data.

Abstract: A technique for controlling a duty cycle of a transmitter in a mobile device is provided. When the mobile device is wirelessly connected to a telecommunications network, discontinuous reception and transmission is provided by a duty cycle including an active state and an inactive state. As to a method aspect of the technique, a switching option for initiating the inactive state after the active state is determined. It is assessed whether a timer of the mobile device triggers a future transmission at a corresponding transmission time. If a time difference between the switching option and the transmission timer exceed a predefined minimum duration, the inactive state is initiated.

Abstract: A technique for allocating a uplink data volume 504 to uplink data pending for transmission in a telecommunications device is provided. As to a method aspect of the technique, a grant of the uplink data volume is received. A portion 502 of the granted uplink data volume is reserved for transmission of a buffer status report, which is to be provided by a Data Link layer 300 of the telecommunications device. A size of the buffer status report depends on a number of channels for which uplink data is pending. If an unreserved portion 503 of the granted uplink data volume is not sufficiently sized for the pending uplink data, the unreserved portion and at least a part of the reserved portion are allocated to at least a portion of the pending uplink data when the allocation corresponds to a reduction of a number of channels for which uplink data is pending so that the buffer status report is at least reduced in size.

Abstract: A technique for controlling a duty cycle of a transmitter (124) in a mobile device (120) is provided. When the mobile device is wirelessly connected to a telecommunications network (100), discontinuous reception and transmission is provided by a duty cycle including an active state and an inactive state. As to a method aspect of the technique, a switching option for initiating the inactive state after the active state is determined. It is assessed whether a timer (126) of the mobile device triggers a future transmission at a corresponding transmission time. If a time difference between the switching option and the transmission timer exceed a predefined minimum duration, the inactive state is initiated.
