Abstract
Errors of e.g database synchrony between radio-connected stations can be especially troublesome if continued and repeated, in that the task of detecting and correcting errors in transmissions between a mobile station and a server can quickly deplete resources in the mobile station. This problem is addressed by keeping an error-event-count in the server; when the count exceeds a threshold, the server signals the mobile to immediately transmit the recent-activity-log in the mobile, i.e the log in the mobile in which are recorded the detailed elements relating to assembling and transmitting the data packet in which the error was detected. Using the information in the recent-activity-log, the server can institute de-bugging strategies, and correct the problem. Preferably, the threshold is in two stages; above the first threshold, the mobile station is signalled to increase the level of detail as recorded in the recent-activity-logs (if the mobile is able to do so), and the actual transmission of the log only takes place above the second threshold.
