Abstract
A communication device, method, and computer program product provide dynamic cell selection with transmit power cut back for local constraints. A transceiver of the communication device scans for cells within communication range of the communication device. An uplink transmit power limit associated with each one of the one or more cells is based at least in part on a maximum transmit power supported by the transceiver. A controller of the communication device determines cuts back of the uplink transmit power limit in response to determining that a local constraint is applicable to the communication device. The controller prioritizes selection of the one or more cells for connecting to the communication device based on the respective uplink transmit power limit contained in the data structure and causes the communication device to connect to the prioritized cell from among the cells.
