1Ease of operation

If RSSI measurement is performed on the first bandwidth as a whole, then the measurement process is simple, but the RSSI data obtained at different first bandwidths become incomparable

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The first bandwidth is divided into multiple subbands for independent RSSI measurement. This segmentation allows the system to measure RSSI at a finer frequency granularity level, making the data comparable across different bandwidth configurations while maintaining measurement simplicity through automated subband processing.

Inventive Principle:
