Abstract

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in order to allow for reselection of a TTI resource, such as in an instance in which a mobile terminal has moved to a different portion of the coverage area and/or in an instance in which the TTI resource was initially incorrectly selected, such as based upon an inaccurate measurement. In the context of a method, a first TTI resource is selected in conjunction with an uplink. The method also detects a failure condition associated with the uplink and selects a second TTI resource, different than the first TTI resource, in response to detection of the failure condition.
