Described embodiments provide systems and methods for adjusting a radio usage of a wireless link according to a time-averaged specific absorption rate (SAR). A first device configured to concurrently maintain a first wireless link with a second device and a second wireless link with an access point of a network may determine a proposed radio usage of the first wireless link and the second wireless link. The first device may determine a state of the first device according to the proposed radio usage and sensor information from at least one sensor of the first device. The first device may determine a time-averaged SAR of a user due to the first device, according to a defined time window and the determined state of the first device, to adjust the proposed radio usage of the first wireless link and the second wireless link to satisfy a threshold level of the time-averaged SAR.
