1. A method by a user equipment, the method comprising:
- prioritizing a transmission of data on uplink during a timeslot over receiving of data on downlink during the timeslot when there is data to be transmitted on the uplink, while the user equipment is incapable of simultaneously receiving on the downlink and transmitting on the uplink,selecting a time within an uplink schedule to begin the transmission of the data on the uplink so that a remaining time within the uplink schedule for receiving data associated with the downlink is maximized,transmitting data on the uplink based on the time selected within the uplink schedule, wherein the data to be transmitted is an amount that is smaller than an amount that can be transmitted in an available bandwidth associated with the uplink schedule, andreceiving data on the downlink during the remaining time within the uplink schedule following the transmission of the data.

Abstract
A method may include 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, and 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.

10. A user equipment comprising:
-
a memory storing instructions; at least one processor configured to execute the instructions in the memory to cause the at least processor to perform operations to; prioritize a transmission of data on uplink during a timeslot over receiving of data on downlink during the timeslot when there is data to be transmitted on the uplink, while the user equipment is incapable of simultaneously receiving on the downlink and transmitting on the uplink, select a time within an uplink schedule to begin the transmission of the data on the uplink so that a remaining time within the uplink schedule for receiving data associated with the downlink is maximized, transmit data on the uplink based on the time selected within the uplink schedule, wherein the data to be transmitted is an amount that is smaller than an amount that can be transmitted in an available bandwidth associated with the uplink schedule, and receive data on the downlink during the remaining time within the uplink schedule following the transmission of the data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
