Abstract
To comport with specific absorption rate (SAR) requirements for a transmitting multi-radio mobile device, transmissions of the multiple radios may be duplexed to ensure compliance with communication regulations. Duplexing of transmissions may occur if overall transmissions exceed a particular threshold value. The duplexing may be opportunistic or deterministic.
Claims16
A method for wireless communications in a user equipment, said method comprising:
- measuring a transmit power from at least one radio access technology (RAT);
- and
- duplexing transmissions of a first RAT with transmissions of a second RAT, such that the first RAT transmits when the second RAT is not transmitting, when the measured transmit powers exceed a value associated with a specific absorption rate (SAR) threshold value and when reducing the transmit power from at least one RAT would result in lower throughput than duplexing the transmissions of the first RAT with the transmission of the second RAT.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory storing a program;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor being configured to perform the following upon executing the program:
- to measure a transmit power from at least one radio access technology (RAT);
- and
- to duplex transmissions of a first RAT with transmissions of a second RAT, such that the first RAT transmits when the second RAT is not transmitting, when the measured transmit powers exceed a value associated with a specific absorption rate (SAR) threshold value and when reducing the transmit power from at least one RAT would result in lower throughput than duplexing the transmissions of the first RAT with the transmission of the second RAT.
A computer program product for wireless communication in a wireless network, said computer program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing non-transitory program code which when executed by a processor performs the following:
- measuring a transmit power from at least one radio access technology (RAT);
- and
- duplexing transmissions of a first RAT with transmissions of a second RAT, such that the first RAT transmits when the second RAT is not transmitting, when the measured transmit powers exceed a value associated with a specific absorption rate (SAR) threshold value and when reducing the transmit power from at least one RAT would result in lower throughput than duplexing the transmissions of the first RAT with the transmission of the second RAT.
An apparatus for wireless communication, said apparatus comprising:
- means for measuring a transmit power from at least one radio access technology (RAT);
- and
- means for duplexing transmissions of a first RAT with transmissions of a second RAT, such that the first RAT transmits when the second RAT is not transmitting, when the measured transmit powers exceed a value associated with a specific absorption rate (SAR) threshold value and when reducing the transmit power from at least one RAT would result in lower throughput than duplexing the transmissions of the first RAT with the transmission of the second RAT.
