Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the sensing signal transmission into multiple components: determination of target time based on uplink data, separate determination of transmit power using configuration information (bandwidth, maximum allowable power, initial power component), and independent calculation of power adjustment. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized separately, improving overall transmission reliability while maintaining sensing functionality.

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring the terminal device with configuration information including bandwidth, maximum allowable transmit power, and initial power component before actual sensing signal transmission. The network device also pre-determines the target time for sensing signal transmission based on uplink data timing. This preliminary configuration enables reliable power control during actual transmission.
