This application provides a communications method and apparatus. According to the method, a receiving terminal receives, from one or more sending terminals, X PSSCHs that are in a one-to-one correspondence with X PSFCH resources, determines M PSFCH resources based on priorities of the X PSFCH resources, transmit power corresponding to the X PSFCH resources, and total transmit power of the receiving terminal, and sends feedback information to some or all of the one or more sending terminals on the M PSFCH resources, so that the receiving terminal can send the M PSFCH resources based on a sending capability (namely, the total transmit power) of the receiving terminal. This improves overall performance of a network system.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may use dynamic power aggregation techniques to perform instantaneous transmit power adjustments in an uplink carrier aggregation configuration. For example, the UE may dynamically adjust the instantaneous transmit power with network assistance. In some cases, the base station may configure a set of power aggregation parameters to control the instantaneous transmit power behavior of the UE. The UE may adjust the instantaneous transmit power in accordance with the power aggregation parameters. In some other cases, the base station may configure the UE to report one or more parameters. Based on the report, the base station may determine a power aggregation configuration for the UE in a time interval. In some other cases, the UE may be configured to scale the instantaneous transmit power for individual component carriers in the carrier aggregation configuration.

A method for improving transmission power management with compliance to regulations of radiofrequency exposure, which may comprise: at a current time, estimating whether a window average power, which may reflect average power transmitted using a radio technology during a moving time window, will exceed a power limit after the current time; if true, proceeding to at least one of a first handling subroutine and a second handling subroutine to set a power cap, and causing power transmitted to be capped by the power cap after the current time. The first handling subroutine may comprise: scheduling to set the power cap lower at a scheduled time. Estimating whether the window average power will exceed the power limit may involve discarding one of a plurality of power records. The second handling subroutine may comprise: setting the power cap not higher than the discarded one of the plurality of power records.

An example method includes, iteratively for each successive given time interval of a continuum of equal-duration time intervals, (i) determining an actual average transmit power of the UE on the first air interface over the given time interval, (ii) using the determined actual average transmit power of the UE on the first air interface over the given time interval as a basis to set a maximum average transmit power of the UE for transmission on the second air interface in a respective subsequent time interval, and (iii) applying the set maximum average transmit power as a limitation on uplink transmit power of the UE for the transmission on the second air interface in the respective subsequent time interval.

An embodiment of the present invention is a local wireless communication system that emits a radio wave in a licensed band to form a wireless communication environment in a predetermined area. The system includes a base station configured to emit a radio wave, a plurality of sensors disposed along an edge of the area, and a control apparatus.
