Claim:
1. A method for reducing power consumption of a mobile device, the method comprising: determining a link quality of a link for a transmission of data between the mobile device and a receiver, and transmitting the data in dependence of the determined link quality from the mobile device to the receiver only when the determined link quality is sufficiently high to transmit the data with a predetermined transmit power from the mobile device to the receiver; wherein transmitting the data comprises storing the data in a buffer if the determined link quality of the link is not sufficiently high and transmitting the data from the buffer to the receiver when the link quality of the link becomes sufficiently high; wherein the data is transmitted from the buffer to the receiver irrespective of the link quality if the buffer is full or if a buffer time of the data in the buffer exceeds a predetermined time limit.
