Exposure detection in millimeter wave systems

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

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive an indication of a cell specific;
• perform a measurement based on the cell specific resource;
• and
• determine whether to adjust a transmission characteristic of the UE based on whether the measurement meets a threshold.

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

• means for receiving an indication of a cell specific resource;
• means for performing a measurement based on the cell specific resource;
• and
• means for determining whether to adjust a transmission characteristic of the UE based on whether the measurement meets a threshold.

A computer-readable medium storing computer executable code for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising code to:

• receive an indication of a cell specific resource;
• perform a measurement based on the cell specific resource;
• and
• determine whether to adjust a transmission characteristic of the user equipment based on whether the measurement meets a threshold.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• configure a cell specific resource in which a user equipment (UE) may perform a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) measurement;
• and
• control use of the cell specific resource for the MPE measurement.
