An apparatus, comprising: means for receiving uplink resource information from a network describing a plurality of uplink resources, wherein the uplink resource information is received with a plurality of downlink reference signals, each of the plurality of downlink reference signals being associated with a respective uplink resource of the plurality of uplink resources; characterized by means for determining, after receiving the uplink resource information and for at least one of the plurality of uplink resources, restrictions on user equipment resources associated with those at least one of the plurality of uplink resources, wherein the means for determining comprises at least one of means for performing a power determination operation to produce a value of an output power reduction associated with that uplink resource and means for performing a duty cycle determination operation to produce a value of a minimum duty cycle associated with that uplink resource; means for selecting at least one of the plurality of uplink resources based on the restrictions on the user equipment resources associated with the at least one of the plurality of uplink resources, wherein means for selecting at least one of the plurality of uplink resources comprises: means for performing a power measurement operation on each of the plurality of downlink reference signals to produce a plurality of reference signal received power values, each of the plurality of reference signal received power values corresponding to a respective uplink resource of the plurality of uplink resources, and means for adjusting, for each of the plurality of downlink reference signals, the reference signal received power value of the plurality of reference signal received power values to produce an adjusted reference signal received power value corresponding to the reference signal received power value, the adjusted reference signal received power value being based on the restrictions on the user equipment resources; and means for transmitting data using the at least one of the plurality of selected uplink resources. means for receiving uplink resource information from a network describing a plurality of uplink resources, wherein the uplink resource information is received with a plurality of downlink reference signals, each of the plurality of downlink reference signals being associated with a respective uplink resource of the plurality of uplink resources; characterized by means for determining, after receiving the uplink resource information and for at least one of the plurality of uplink resources, restrictions on user equipment resources associated with those at least one of the plurality of uplink resources, wherein the means for determining comprises at least one of means for performing a power determination operation to produce a value of an output power reduction associated with that uplink resource and means for performing a duty cycle determination operation to produce a value of a minimum duty cycle associated with that uplink resource; means for selecting at least one of the plurality of uplink resources based on the restrictions on the user equipment resources associated with the at least one of the plurality of uplink resources, wherein means for selecting at least one of the plurality of uplink resources comprises: means for performing a power measurement operation on each of the plurality of downlink reference signals to produce a plurality of reference signal received power values, each of the plurality of reference signal received power values corresponding to a respective uplink resource of the plurality of uplink resources, and means for adjusting, for each of the plurality of downlink reference signals, the reference signal received power value of the plurality of reference signal received power values to produce an adjusted reference signal received power value corresponding to the reference signal received power value, the adjusted reference signal received power value being based on the restrictions on the user equipment resources; and means for transmitting data using the at least one of the plurality of selected uplink resources. means for performing a power measurement operation on each of the plurality of downlink reference signals to produce a plurality of reference signal received power values, each of the plurality of reference signal received power values corresponding to a respective uplink resource of the plurality of uplink resources, and means for adjusting, for each of the plurality of downlink reference signals, the reference signal received power value of the plurality of reference signal received power values to produce an adjusted reference signal received power value corresponding to the reference signal received power value, the adjusted reference signal received power value being based on the restrictions on the user equipment resources; and means for transmitting data using the at least one of the plurality of selected uplink resources.
