Maximum permissible exposure assisted uplink traffic grant allocation

A method of wireless communication in a wireless communication device, comprising:

• determining, by the wireless communication device, one or more candidate uplink duty cycles for a subsequent uplink transmission interval based at least in part on a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) requirement;
• determining, by the wireless communication device, a maximum number of resource blocks per symbol and a maximum modulation and coding scheme (MSC) index associated with each of the one or more candidate uplink duty cycles from a predefined MCS index table;
• and
• selecting, by the wireless communication device, a duty cycle, number of resource blocks per symbol, and MCS that facilitates a largest number of un-coded bits for the subsequent uplink transmission interval.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for determining one or more candidate uplink duty cycles for a subsequent uplink transmission interval based at least in part on a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) requirement;
• means for determining a maximum number of resource blocks per symbol and a maximum modulation and coding scheme (MSC) index associated with each of the one or more candidate uplink duty cycles from a predefined MCS index table;
• and
• means for selecting a duty cycle, a number of resource blocks per symbol, and MCS that facilitates a largest number of un-coded bits for the subsequent uplink transmission interval.
