According to an example embodiment, a method may include detecting, by a user equipment in a wireless network, a power exposure event for the user equipment (e.g., a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) event); and sending, by the user equipment to a base station, a message including at least a user equipment identifier identifying the user equipment, information indicating that the detected power exposure event for the user equipment is a trigger for the sending of the message, and information identifying at least one of: a reduced maximum output power value for the user equipment and/or a reduced maximum uplink duty cycle for the user equipment, based on the detected power exposure event.
