Power control techniques for cooperative sensing

A network entity for wireless communication, comprising:

• one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the network entity to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), control signaling indicating one or more of:
• an initial transmit power to be used transmit a first sensing signal of a radio frequency sensing procedure for detecting one or more objects, or
• a path loss model to be used to determine the initial transmit power;
• receive the first sensing signal of the radio frequency sensing procedure transmitted at the initial transmit power;
• transmit, to the UE at least in part in response to the first sensing signal, a power control message for sensing signals to be transmitted by the UE in the radio frequency sensing procedure;
• and
• receive, at least in part in response to the transmitted power control message, a second sensing signal of the radio frequency sensing procedure.

A method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving, from a network entity, control signaling indicating one or more of:
• an initial transmit power to be used to transmit a first sensing signal of a radio frequency sensing procedure for detecting one or more objects, or
• a path loss model to be used to determine the initial transmit power;
• transmitting, at the initial transmit power, the first sensing signal of the radio frequency sensing procedure;
• receiving, from the network entity at least in part in response to the first sensing signal, a power control message for sensing signals of the radio frequency sensing procedure;
• and
• transmitting, at a second transmit power based at least in part on the received power control message, a second sensing signal of the radio frequency sensing procedure.
