Exposure reporting for wireless communications
Wireless communications may use one or more devices for transmission and/or reception that may lead to potentially harmful exposure. One or more safety measures may be used for wireless communication devices, such as maximum power exposure (MPE) reporting and/or related operations. An MPE report may be sent based on MPE detection and one or more messages, such as for cell activation, bandwidth part (BWP) or other wireless resource activation and/or switching, and/or a discontinuous reception (DRX) or other state transition.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device, at least one message indicating at least one power reduction threshold for reporting maximum permissible exposure (MPE) power management maximum power reduction (P-MPR); and
based on the at least one power reduction threshold being exceeded by an MPE P-MPR value associated with a serving cell, transmitting a report comprising the MPE P-MPR value.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the serving cell comprises at least one of:
a serving cell operating on frequency range 2 (FR2); or
a secondary cell.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, after transmitting the report:
stopping uplink transmissions via a first panel, of the wireless device, that is associated with the MPE P-MPR value; and
starting uplink transmissions via a second panel of the wireless device.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, based on a detected exposure event, the MPE P-MPR value.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the report further comprises a power headroom report (PHR) value associated with the serving cell.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
switching from a first uplink bandwidth part (BWP) of the serving cell to a second uplink BWP of the serving cell; and
determining, based on the switching, the MPE P-MPR value.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprises:
transitioning from a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactive time to a DRX active time; and
determining, based on the transitioning, the MPE P-MPR value.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one power reduction threshold comprises a power reduction value.
9. A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device, at least one message indicating a threshold at which a power reduction triggers a report, wherein the power reduction is a reduction from a maximum transmission power and is associated with a permissible exposure requirement; and
based on the threshold being exceeded by a determined power reduction associated with the exposure requirement and from a maximum transmission power for a serving cell, transmitting a report comprising the determined power reduction.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the serving cell comprises at least one of:
a serving cell operating on frequency range 2 (FR2); or
a secondary cell.
11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising, after transmitting the report:
stopping uplink transmissions via a first panel, of the wireless device, that is associated with the determined power reduction; and
starting uplink transmissions via a second panel of the wireless device.
12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
determining, based on a detected exposure event, the determined power reduction.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the report further comprises a power headroom report (PHR) value associated with the serving cell.
14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
switching from a first uplink bandwidth part (BWP) of the serving cell to a second uplink BWP of the serving cell; and
determining, based on the switching, the determined power reduction.
15. The method of claim 9 , further comprises:
transitioning from a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactive time to a DRX active time; and
determining, based on the transitioning, the determined power reduction.
16. A method comprising:
transmitting, by a base station, at least one message indicating a power reduction threshold for reporting maximum permissible exposure (MPE) power management maximum power reduction (P-MPR); and
based on the power reduction threshold being exceeded by an MPE P-MPR value associated with a serving cell, receiving a report comprising the MPE P-MPR value associated with the serving cell.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the serving cell comprises at least one of:
a serving cell operating on frequency range 2 (FR2); or
a secondary cell.
18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the MPE P-MPR value, associated with the serving cell, is determined based on a detected exposure event.
19. The method of claim 16 , wherein the report further comprises a power headroom report (PHR) value associated with the serving cell.
20. A method comprising:
transmitting, by a base station, at least one message indicating a threshold at which a power reduction triggers a report, wherein the power reduction is a reduction from a maximum transmission power and is associated with a permissible exposure requirement; and
based on the threshold being exceeded by a determined power reduction associated with the exposure requirement and from a maximum transmission power for a serving cell, receiving a report comprising the determined power reduction.
21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the serving cell comprises at least one of:
a serving cell operating on frequency range 2 (FR2); or
a secondary cell.
22. The method of claim 20 , wherein the determined power reduction is based on a detected exposure event.
23. The method of claim 20 , wherein the report further comprises a power headroom report (PHR) value associated with the serving cell.
24. The method of claim 20 , further comprising switching from a first uplink bandwidth part (BWP) of the serving cell to a second uplink BWP of the serving cell, wherein the determined power reduction is based on the switching.
