Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for operating a wireless communication device pursuant to radio frequency (RF) exposure with antenna grouping. An example method of wireless communication by a user equipment generally includes accessing a stored backoff factor associated with an antenna group among a plurality of antenna groups. The method also includes transmitting, from at least one transmit antenna in the antenna group, a signal at a transmission power level based on the backoff factor in compliance with an RF exposure requirement.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication by a user equipment, comprising:
- accessing a stored backoff factor associated with an antenna group among a plurality of antenna groups;
- and
- transmitting, from at least one transmit antenna in the antenna group, a signal at a transmission power level based on the backoff factor in compliance with a radio frequency (RF) exposure requirement.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor coupled to the memory, the processor and the memory being configured to access a stored backoff factor associated with an antenna group among a plurality of antenna groups;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit, from at least one transmit antenna in the antenna group, a signal at a transmission power level based on the backoff factor in compliance with a radio frequency (RF) exposure requirement.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for accessing a stored backoff factor associated with an antenna group among a plurality of antenna groups;
- and
- means for transmitting, from at least one transmit antenna in the antenna group, a signal at a transmission power level based on the backoff factor in compliance with a radio frequency (RF) exposure requirement.
