Claim 8:
9. A wireless communication device, comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
for each of two or more of a plurality of sub-bands of a bandwidth available for wireless communication, determine a respective sub-band received-signal power associated with the respective sub-band as a whole;
based on which of the respective sub-band received-signal powers of the two or more sub-bands respectively satisfies a predefined threshold condition, which is dependent on how the respective sub-band received-signal powers respectively compare to a threshold power level, selectively amplify one or more signals received within only those of the two or more sub-bands whose respective sub-band received-signal powers satisfy the predefined threshold condition; and
transmit the amplified one or more signals to at least one of a user equipment (UE) or a base station.
