Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a first transmission including encoded bits of a data packet and a second transmission including some or all of the encoded bits of the data packet. The first transmission associated with a first limited buffer rate matching (LBRM) configuration and the second transmission may be associated with a second LBRM configuration. The UE may process the first transmission and the second transmission based on the first LBRM associated with the first transmission being different than the second LBRM associated with the second transmission.

A communication system may an optical signal generator and a signal path. The generator may generate one or more optical local oscillator (LO) signals and an optical frequency comb. Optical paths and an optical demultiplexer may distribute the optical LO signal(s) and the frequency comb to photodiodes in one or more access points. The photodiodes may be coupled to antenna radiating elements. The optical paths may illuminate each photodiode using a signal pair that includes one of the optical LO signals and one of the carriers from the frequency comb. The photodiodes may convey wireless signals using the antenna radiating elements at frequencies given by the differences in frequency between the signals in the signal pairs. The radiating elements may concurrently convey the wireless signals with different external devices at different frequencies, with different devices at the same frequency, and/or with the same device at the same frequency.

Techniques are described for expanding and/or improving the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) 3.0 television protocol in robustly delivering the next generation broadcast television services. An ATSC3.0 service list table (SLT) contains correlations between service IDs and frequencies so that a receiver receiving duplicate services on different frequencies in a boundary between broadcast regions can select the best frequency to tune to in order to present the service, without having to access a database to correlate service IDs to frequencies.

Systems and methods for evaluating a customer premise equipment (CPE) device to determine whether it is being used to perpetuate theft of service (TOS). A computing system may be configured to collect raw data from a customer premise equipment (CPE) device associated with a subscriber account, determine TOS features based on the collected raw data, determine a risk score for the CPE based on the TOS features, determine whether the risk score exceeds a threshold value, and classifying the CPE device as a TOS device in response to determining that the risk score exceeds the threshold value.

Methods and apparatus are described for enhanced node communication within a wireless node network having nodes and a server. The method begins with a first node associating with a second node, and the first node capturing relevant node information. When the first node is in a first connectivity mode, the relevant node information is transmitted to the server via the second node operating as an intermediary for indirect communication with the server. When the first node is in a second connectivity mode, the first node transmits the relevant node information to the server without using the second node as the intermediary or bridge to the server. Each of the first node and second node may be wireless transceiver-based nodes and respectively implemented as integrated circuits.
