System and method for user equipment-side thermal mitigation

A user equipment, comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• receive thermal mitigation guidelines;
• define a first temperature zone, a second temperature zone, and a third temperature zone based on the thermal mitigation guidelines;
• detect a temperature of the user equipment;
• identify whether the temperature occurs in the first temperature zone, the second temperature zone, or the third temperature zone;
• select an action to perform based on the temperature and whether the temperature occurs in the first temperature zone, the second temperature zone, or the third temperature zone,
• wherein the action is configured to maintain the temperature within the first temperature zone or reduce the temperature to be within the first temperature zone;
• and
• perform the action to maintain or reduce the temperature of the user equipment.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive thermal mitigation guidelines;
• generate one or more temperature thresholds based on the thermal mitigation guidelines,
• wherein the one or more temperature thresholds define a first temperature zone and a second temperature zone;
• detect a temperature of the user equipment according to a schedule;
• identify whether the temperature occurs in the first temperature zone or the second temperature zone;
• select an action to perform based on whether the temperature occurs in the first temperature zone or the second temperature zone;
• and
• perform the action to maintain or reduce the temperature of the user equipment.
