Methods and apparatus for transmitting audience measurement data or interactive data via a compressed data bitstream are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include eliminating a first type of data within a compressed data bitstream, and packing a second type of data within the compressed data bitstream to occupy a first location within the compressed data bitstream from which the first type of data is eliminated. Disclosed example methods also include inserting at least one of audience measurement data or interactive data in a second location within the compressed data bitstream that is expanded as a result of the packing of the second type of data to form a modified compressed data bitstream, and transmitting the modified compressed data bitstream.

A digital broadcast receiver includes a first receiving module tunable to a foreground broadcast service to extract a program information, a first decoder module coupled to the first receiving module and decoding the program information, an output module switchably coupled to the first decoder module and adapted to output the program information, at least one second decoder module coupled to the first receiving module and tunable to a background broadcast service to decode a program information associated with the background broadcast service, and a control unit adapted to tune the first receiving module and the first decoder module to the foreground broadcast service and to tune each of the at least one second decoder modules to a background broadcast service. The control unit determines the foreground broadcast service based on a user input and determines the background broadcast services based on the foreground broadcast service and a predefined rule.

Aspects are described for use in wireless communications. Nodes may provide wireless access to wireless devices in different coverage areas. The nodes may transmit messages having time interval allocation bitmaps that indicate reduced transmission power time intervals. The reduced transmission power time intervals may be different for different nodes.

A device, system and method for rebroadcasting communication data with additional context data is provided. A device detects communication data broadcast on a first radio channel by a radio device associated with a first user. In response to determining that the communication data meets given criteria for rebroadcasting, the device: determines additional context data associated with one or more of the radio device and the first user; identifies one or more second radio channels for rebroadcast of the communication data; and causes at least a portion of the communication data and the additional context data to be broadcast on the one or more second radio channels, the additional context data being broadcast in a channel-compatible format one or more of preceding, succeeding and embedded in the portion of the communication data.
