Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining transmit power values for different bandwidths (20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz, 160 MHz, and 320 MHz) in a transmit power envelope element. This allows devices to have power control parameters ready in advance for maximum bandwidths, enabling quick power adjustment without complex real-time calculations, thus reducing interference while managing complexity through pre-computation.
