Claim Text:
1. A method, performed in an electronic device, for emphasizing frequency blocks containing priority data, the method comprising: determining to communicate data in a plurality of allocated frequency blocks; identifying a first subset of the plurality of allocated frequency blocks that contain data having a higher priority than data in a second subset of the plurality of allocated frequency blocks; determining a position of the first subset of the plurality of allocated frequency blocks in a frequency band of operation; emphasizing, during data communication, the first subset of the plurality of allocated frequency blocks, which contain the data having the higher priority, over the second subset of the plurality of allocated frequency blocks; wherein the emphasizing comprises using digital tuning to increase a first amplitude of the first subset of the plurality of frequency blocks relative to a second amplitude of the second subset of the plurality of frequency blocks if the position of the first subset of the plurality of allocated frequency blocks is identified in a table as being in a first range of the frequency band of operation; and wherein the emphasizing comprises using analog tuning to increase power of the first subset of the plurality of frequency blocks if the position of the first subset of the plurality of allocated frequency blocks is identified in the table as being in a second range of the frequency band of operation, wherein the first range is closer to a center of the frequency band than the second range.
