    Abstract: In certain aspects, a method implemented in a wireless device includes determining a specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution for a first wireless communication technology, determining a power density (PD) distribution for a second wireless communication technology, and combining the SAR distribution and the PD distribution to generate a combined RF exposure distribution. The method also includes determining at least one first maximum allowable power level and at least one second maximum allowable power level for a future time slot based on the combined RF exposure distribution, setting at least one transmission power limit for a first transmitter in the future time slot based on the at least one first maximum allowable power level, and setting at least one transmission power limit for a second transmitter in the future time slot based on the at least one second maximum allowable power level.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure relate to reporting a power limit along with an indication of at least one constraint upon which the power limit is based. In some aspects, the constraint is a radio frequency (RF) exposure constraint. For example, a power headroom limit calculated by a first apparatus may be constrained by a specific absorption rate (SAR) limit or a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limit. The first apparatus may thus report to a second apparatus the current power headroom limit of the first apparatus along with an indication of whether the power headroom limit is constrained by an SAR limit or an MPE limit (e.g., as opposed to being constrained by a maximum transmit power limit). The second apparatus may then schedule the first apparatus taking into account the power headroom limit and the corresponding constraint (e.g., maximum power or SAR/MPE).

    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for proximity detection using multiple power levels. In an example aspect, the apparatus includes a first antenna, a second antenna, and a wireless transceiver coupled to the first antenna and the second antenna. The wireless transceiver is configured to transmit multiple transmit signals at multiple power levels via the first antenna. The wireless transceiver is also configured to receive multiple receive signals via the second antenna. At least one receive signal of the multiple receive signals includes a portion of at least one transmit signal of the multiple transmit signals that is reflected by an object. The wireless transceiver is additionally configured to adjust a transmission parameter based on the at least one receive signal. The transmission parameter varies according to a range to the object.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An exemplary method includes receiving a signal corresponding to a frequency band, scanning for communications activity within the frequency band, wherein scanning for communications activity within the frequency band comprises performing a correlation calculation on samples of the signal, and determining whether to attempt a connection establishment within the frequency band based at least in part on the correlation calculation on samples of the signal. When the scanning identifies an indication of activity, a scanning device may attempt to establish a connection with a base station within the frequency band. When the scanning identifies an indication of no activity, a scanning device may refrain from attempting to establish a connection with a base station within the frequency band, and may perform the correlation-enhanced frequency scanning on a different frequency band.
