Uplink transmission techniques for exposure limited transmissions

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• establish a connection with a base station, wherein a first traffic volume at the UE comprises data to be transmitted to the base station;
• receive, from the base station, a first uplink grant indicating a set of uplink transmission resources;
• determine, based at least in part on the set of uplink transmission resources and one or more associated uplink transmission parameters, that an uplink transmission of the data using the set of uplink transmission resources exceeds a maximum transmission power available to the UE that is based on an exposure threshold;
• calculate an adjusted traffic volume at the UE based at least in part on the set of uplink transmission resources and the data;
• and
• transmit an indication of the adjusted traffic volume, wherein a size of the adjusted traffic volume limits the uplink transmission of the data based at least in part on the exposure threshold.
