1. A method of operating a base station in a telecommunications system, wherein the base station is to communicate data to and from a plurality of terminals, the base station being configured to transmit downlink signals using downlink resources in a frequency band and in a first time period, the method comprising the base station:
identifying uplink data to be transmitted by a first terminal of the plurality of terminals;
upon identification of uplink data to be transmitted by a first terminal of the plurality of terminals, dynamically selecting a set of resources for transmitting the uplink data, wherein selecting the set of resources comprises selecting a subset of the frequency band and a subset of the time period of the downlink resources, the selected set of resources being based on the subset of the frequency band and the subset of the time period;
notifying the first terminal of the selected set of resources;
receiving the uplink data from the first terminal transmitted using the selected set of resources; and
receiving, from the first terminal, an indicator, the indicator comprising one or more of:
an indication of an uplink transmission power and/or a type of uplink data; and
a preference to use resources of the downlink resources or resources other than the downlink resources,
wherein the downlink resources comprise a reserved set of resources, the set of resources being selected from resources of the downlink resources outside of the reserved set of resources, thereby using the reserved set of resources exclusively for downlink transmissions,
wherein the reserved set of resources is selected based on information about downlink and/or uplink transmissions for a neighboring base station so as to reduce interferences between transmissions for the base station and the neighboring base station, and
wherein a system bandwidth for the selected set of resources includes a first portion that is distributed and a second portion different from the first portion that is contiguous.
