EFFICIENT DETERMINATION OF RF EXPOSURE FOR MIMO TRANSMITTERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17952169 titled 'EFFICIENT DETERMINATION OF RF EXPOSURE FOR MIMO TRANSMITTERS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to assessing radio frequency (RF) exposure from a wireless device supporting multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) transmissions using multiple antennas.

  • MIMO RF exposure distributions for one or more MIMO transmissions are determined and stored in memory.
  • To assess RF exposure for a MIMO transmission, a processor retrieves the corresponding MIMO RF exposure distributions, linearly combines them to obtain a combined MIMO RF exposure distribution, and assesses RF exposure compliance based on the combined distribution.
  • The MIMO RF exposure distribution may include MIMO specific absorption rate (SAR) distributions.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in the telecommunications industry for ensuring compliance with RF exposure regulations for MIMO transmissions.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of accurately assessing RF exposure from wireless devices with multiple antennas, specifically in the context of MIMO transmissions.

Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the present disclosure facilitate assessment of radio frequency (RF) exposure from a wireless device supporting multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) transmissions using multiple antennas. In certain aspects, MIMO RF exposure distributions for one or more MIMO transmissions are determined and stored in a memory. To assess RF exposure for a MIMO transmission, a processor may retrieve the corresponding MIMO RF exposure distributions from the memory, linearly combine the MIMO RF exposure distributions to obtain a combined MIMO RF exposure distribution, and assess RF exposure compliance based on the combined MIMO RF exposure distribution. In one example, the MIMO RF exposure distribution may include MIMO specific absorption rate (SAR) distributions.
