1. A method for communication transmission power control, the method comprising:
determining, by processing circuitry of a device, a radio frequency (RF) exposure based on a first transmission power of an antenna of the device;
determining, by the processing circuitry, a time-averaged RF exposure based on the RF exposure;
identifying, by a proximity sensor of the device, data indicative of a first distance between the device and an object external to the device;
setting, by the processing circuitry, a transmission power threshold value based on the first distance;
generating, by the processing circuitry, a transmission power budget value based on the time-averaged RF exposure, the transmission power budget value measured over an averaging period;
setting, by the processing circuitry, a second transmission power, of the antenna, greater than the transmission power threshold value based on the first distance being greater than a second distance where there is a threshold margin between the time-averaged RF exposure and the transmission power threshold value, the first transmission power, the transmission power threshold value, and the transmission power budget value; and
causing, by the processing circuitry, the antenna of the device to transmit using the second transmission power at the first distance.
