Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for operating a wireless communication device pursuant to radio frequency (RF) exposure compliance. An example method of wireless communication includes obtaining RF exposure information associated with a first RF exposure control scheme, wherein the first RF exposure control scheme is associated with one or more first radios. The method further includes transmitting a signal via one or more second radios associated with a second RF exposure control scheme at a transmit power based at least in part on the RF exposure information, wherein the one or more first radios are different than the one or more second radios.
Claims23
A method of wireless communication by a wireless device, the method comprising:
- obtaining radio frequency (RF) exposure information associated with a first RF exposure control scheme, wherein the RF exposure information associated with the RF exposure control scheme includes a length of a time-averaging window for the first RF exposure control scheme, and wherein the first RF exposure control scheme is associated with one or more first radios;
- transitioning to transmitting a first signal via one or more second radios associated with a second RF exposure control scheme;
- during a duration corresponding to the length of the time-averaging window for the first RF exposure control scheme, transmitting the first signal via the one or more second radios associated with the second RF exposure control scheme at a reduced RF exposure level based at least in part on the RF exposure information, wherein the one or more first radios are different than the one or more second radios;
- and
- after the duration corresponding to the length of the time-averaging window for the first RF exposure control scheme, transmitting via the one or more second radios at an RF exposure level according to the second RF exposure scheme.
An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
- memory storing computer-executable code;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors being configured to, individually or collectively, execute the computer-executable code and cause the apparatus to:
- obtain radio frequency (RF) exposure information associated with a first RF exposure control scheme, wherein the RF exposure information associated with the RF exposure control scheme includes a length of a time-averaging window for the first RF exposure control scheme, and wherein the first RF exposure control scheme is associated with one or more first radios;
- transition to transmitting a first signal via one or more second radios associated with a second RF exposure control scheme;
- during a duration corresponding to the length of the time-averaging window for the first RF exposure control scheme, control transmission of the first signal via the one or more second radios associated with the second RF exposure control scheme at a reduced RF exposure level based at least in part on the RF exposure information, wherein the one or more first radios are different than the one or more second radios;
- and
- after the duration corresponding to the length of the time-averaging window for the first RF exposure control scheme, transmit via the one or more second radios at an RF exposure level according to the second RF exposure scheme.
An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
- means for obtaining radio frequency (RF) exposure information associated with a first RF exposure control scheme, wherein the RF exposure information associated with the RF exposure control scheme includes a length of a time-averaging window for the first RF exposure control scheme, and wherein the first RF exposure control scheme is associated with one or more first radios;
- means for transitioning to transmitting a first signal via one or more second radios associated with a second RF exposure control scheme;
- means for, during a duration corresponding to the length of the time-averaging window for the first RF exposure control scheme, transmitting the first signal via the one or more second radios associated with the second RF exposure control scheme at a reduced RF exposure level based at least in part on the RF exposure information, wherein the one or more first radios are different than the one or more second radios;
- and
- means for, after the duration corresponding to the length of the time-averaging window for the first RF exposure control scheme, transmitting via the one or more second radios at an RF exposure level according to the second RF exposure scheme.
