Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, methods, and systems for adjusting transmit properties based on compliance metrics for human exposure to radiation. As one example, the system determines a first transmission power limit associated with transmissions on a first radio resource, wherein the first transmission power limit is based on a first compliance level threshold of human exposure to emitted radiation when using the first radio resource. The system determines a second transmission power limit associated with transmissions on a second radio resource, wherein the second transmission power limit is based on a second compliance level threshold of human exposure to emitted radiation when transmitting using the second radio resource. The system also controls a wireless device to select either the first radio resource or the second radio resource for a transmission from the wireless device based on the first transmission power limit and the second transmission power limit.

Abstract: Methods and devices configured to apply a power back-off (PBO) to limit a radio frequency (RF) transmitter power up to a first limit, where the first limit is below a pre-defined RF power limit; accumulate a difference between RF transmission power spent transmitting data and the pre-defined RF power limit over a duration to produce an accumulated energy budget; and once the accumulated energy budget reaches a pre-defined energy credit value, remove the PBO and allow RF transmitter power exceeding the pre-defined RF power limit until the accumulated energy budget meets a threshold.

Abstract: Techniques involving wireless communications are disclosed. For instance, an embodiment provides an apparatus having a first transceiver and a second transceiver. The first transceiver engages in wireless communication using a first technique that employs control packets. The second transceiver engages in wireless communication using a second technique. The second technique may establish a transmission priority over the first technique. Also, the first transceiver may refrain from transmitting the control packets at predetermined times to prevent collisions with prioritized transmissions received by the second transceiver.
