1. A method performed by a user equipment device (UE) for managing resource allocation, the method comprising, during a procedure to establish a connection between the UE and a base station:
receiving, by the UE from the base station, a request for capabilities of the UE, the request for capabilities indicating a set of frequency bands requested by the base station;
determining a maximum uplink (UL) duty cycle of the UE for the connection to be a lowest UL duty cycle among a set of maximum UL duty cycles of a set of candidate frequency bands, each candidate frequency band included in (i) the set of frequency bands requested by the base station, and (ii) a plurality of frequency bands supported by the UE, each UE-supported frequency band associated with a respective maximum transmission power level (MTPL);
providing, by the UE to the base station, an indication of the maximum UL duty cycle for the connection.
