Techniques and apparatus for determining a transmit power limit based on sensor spatial coverage. A method that may be performed by a wireless communication device includes selecting a beam for transmission of a signal, determining a transmit power limit based at least in part on an overlap between the selected beam and a coverage zone of a sensor, and transmitting the signal via the beam at a transmit power based at least in part on the determined transmit power limit.

The first device may perform measurements on the received reference signals and select a subset of directional beams from the set of directional beams based on the performed measurements. Each directional beam may be associated with a set of beamforming weights. The first device may communicate with the second device using a dynamic set of beamforming weights. The first device may form the dynamic set of beamforming weights using a combination of beamforming weights from each set of beamforming weights associated with the subset of directional beams. The dynamic set of beamforming weights may be different from each set of beamforming weights associated with the subset of directional beams.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may identify a first transmit power limit based at least in part on at least one of a specific absorption rate limit, a maximum permissible exposure limit, or a power density limit. The UE may modify, based at least in part on a scaling factor associated with a time interval, the first transmit power limit to obtain a modified first transmit power limit.

A transmitting device, such as a user equipment (UE) may determine an uplink transmit power limit for a time window based on an RF limit and a duration of the time window. The device may use the power limit to determine an uplink transmit power based on a computed uplink transmission period for the time window that accounts for a time period during which the device is expected to actually transmit. The computed uplink transmission period may be based on one or more actual uplink transmission periods during one or more prior time windows, a predictive model, network signaling, or any combinations thereof. The device may transmit one or more uplink transmissions during the time window using the determined uplink transmit power.
