    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining transmit power limits for multiple transmitter devices is provided. The method begins when a two-dimensional area scan and a localized three-dimensional volume scan are performed for each transmitter and antenna. These two-dimensional area scans are converted to a three-dimensional full volume data using analytical estimations to determine the peak averaged SAR value, and subsequently determining the error associated with the analytical estimation. The error associated with the analytical estimation is determined by comparison with the measured value. The combined peak averaged SAR may then be determined for simultaneous transmissions of multiple transmitters with varying transmit powers by combining the scaled and analytically determined three-dimensional full volume data for each transmitter. The value is then further scaled by the worst-case conversion error for all active transmitters. This value is compared with the SAR limit and the maximum allowable transmit power determined for the multiple transmitters.

    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein provide a method and apparatus for optimizing time-averaged transmitter power of a communications device. A time-averaged SAR is computed over a predefined time window using past transmitter power levels with minimum transmitter power equal to reserve transmitter power for any time interval. Based on the time-averaged SAR a maximum allowable transmitter power for a future fixed time interval is determined. The communication device then transmits at a power equal to or less than the maximum allowable transmitter power. The communication device may back off from high transmitter power to a reserve transmitter power when calculated time-averaged SAR approaches the SAR limit. When old high power transmissions expire, the communication device gains SAR margin and may then transmit at high power. The apparatus comprises: at least one antenna, a transmitter in communication with a power supply, a receiver, a timer in communication with a processor, and a memory.

    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.
