1. A method, comprising:

  • receiving, by a user equipment incapable of transmitting and receiving simultaneously, a schedule to transmit data on an uplink;

    detecting, by the user equipment, whether there is data to be transmitted on the uplink;

    receiving, by the user equipment, during a time corresponding to the schedule, data associated with a downlink, when it is determined that there is no data to be transmitted;

    prioritizing the transmission of the data on the uplink over the receiving of data associated with the downlink, when it is determined that there is data to be transmitted on the uplink; and

    selecting a time within the schedule to begin transmitting the data on the uplink so that a remaining time within the schedule for receiving data associated with the downlink is maximized, wherein the data to be transmitted is of an amount that is smaller than an available bandwidth associated with the schedule.
