POWER-EFFICIENT BODY PROXIMITY SENSING FOR mmWAVE SYSTEMS

A user equipment (UE), or other network component can operate to generate new radio (NR) communications in millimeter wave (mmW) frequencies. Body proximity sensing (BPS) operations can be performed to determine whether a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) event is triggered. A safe transmit power l...

Summary:A user equipment (UE), or other network component can operate to generate new radio (NR) communications in millimeter wave (mmW) frequencies. Body proximity sensing (BPS) operations can be performed to determine whether a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) event is triggered. A safe transmit power level associated with the one or more bands can then be used to provide the NR communications. Additionally, determinations of whether various conditions are satisfied to suspend the BPS operations for a period can be evaluated and implemented. The BPS can be configured such that a BPS period of the BPS operations are aligned with a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle at a beginning of a DRX on-duration of a DRX cycle, wherein the one or more conditions comprise a DRX idle time or state.
