System and Methods for Controlling Transmit Power on Multi-SIM Devices in Compliance with Specific Absorption Rate Limits

A wireless device, comprising:

• a memory;
• a first SIM associated with a first radio frequency (RF) resource;
• a second SIM associated with a second RF resource;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, the first RF resource, and the second RF resource, wherein the processor is configured with processor-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
• determining a priority of two or more active data communications supported by the two or more RF resources, wherein determining the priority is based upon a measured condition of the wireless device and attributes of the active data communications;
• and
• reducing transmit power on at least one of the two or more RF resources supporting at least one of the two or more active data communications with lower priority.
