1. A method for wireless communication performed by a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
for each of two or more of a plurality of sub-bands of a bandwidth available for wireless communication, determining 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 amplifying 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
transmitting the amplified one or more signals to at least one of a user equipment (UE) or a base station.
