COMPRESSED RADIO FREQUENCY EXPOSURE MAP

Techniques and apparatus for generating a compressed radio frequency (RF) exposure map and using such a compressed RF exposure map for determining a transmit power to meet RF exposure compliance limits are described. An example method generally includes obtaining a first RF exposure map associated with at least one antenna of a wireless device and converting the first RF exposure map to a second RF exposure map. The second RF exposure map is compressed compared to the first RF exposure map. Another example method includes accessing an RF exposure map associated with at least one antenna of the wireless device. The RF exposure map includes a representation of a maximum RF exposure for a region of the RF exposure map. The method also includes transmitting, from the antenna(s), a signal at a transmit power determined based on the RF exposure map in compliance with an RF exposure limit.
