Abstract
A technique for allocating a uplink data volumeto 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 portionof the granted uplink data volume is reserved for transmission of a buffer status report, which is to be provided by a Data Link layerof 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 portionof 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.
