Exception-robust time-averaged radio frequency exposure compliance continuity

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a transmitter configured to transmit a first signal at a first transmission power based on time-averaged radio frequency (RF) exposure measurements over a time window;
• a memory configured to store RF exposure information associated with the time window and store a timestamp associated with the RF exposure information;
• a modem configured to store the RF exposure information associated with the time window, the memory being distinct from the modem;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the transmitter, to the memory, and to the modem, the one or more processors being configured to detect that an exception event associated with the apparatus occurred, wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit a second signal at a second transmission power based at least in part on the RF exposure information stored in the memory in response to the detection of the exception event.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of an apparatus, cause the apparatus to perform operations for wireless communication, the operations comprising:

• transmitting a first signal at a first transmission power based on time-averaged RF exposure measurements over a time window;
• storing RF exposure information associated with the time window in a memory of the apparatus and in a modem and storing a timestamp associated with the RF exposure information in the memory, the memory being distinct from the modem;
• detecting that an exception event associated with the apparatus occurred;
• and
• transmitting a second signal at a second transmission power based at least in part on the RF exposure information stored in the memory in response to the detection of the exception event.
