  • Publication number: 20240113750
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure facilitate assessment of radio frequency (RF) exposure from a wireless device supporting multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) transmissions using multiple antennas. In certain aspects, MIMO RF exposure distributions for one or more MIMO transmissions are determined and stored in a memory. To assess RF exposure for a MIMO transmission, a processor may retrieve the corresponding MIMO RF exposure distributions from the memory, linearly combine the MIMO RF exposure distributions to obtain a combined MIMO RF exposure distribution, and assess RF exposure compliance based on the combined MIMO RF exposure distribution. In one example, the MIMO RF exposure distribution may include MIMO specific absorption rate (SAR) distributions.

  • Publication number: 20240114397
    Abstract: The system determines that an application running user equipment (UE) is requesting a throughput intensive communication over a network. The throughput intensive communication can require a predetermined downlink and uplink throughput. The system sends a first indication to the network, specifying to a base station of the network that the UE is requesting the throughput intensive communication. The base station determines whether it can provide the downlink throughput and the uplink throughput to the UE. Upon determining that the base station cannot provide the downlink or the uplink throughput to the UE, the base station sends a first message to the UE, indicating that the throughput intensive communication is of low quality. Upon receiving the first message, the UE waits for a predetermined criterion to be satisfied before attempting to engage in the throughput intensive communication, thereby reducing network traffic by eschewing sending repeated requests for the throughput intensive communication.
