  • selecting, for communicating a signal, a first plurality of sub-channels collectively having a first bandwidth, the first plurality being selected from a second plurality of sub-channels, the second plurality collectively having a second bandwidth, the second bandwidth being greater than the first bandwidth, wherein selecting the first plurality of sub-channels comprises preferentially selecting a sub-channel when the sub-channel was previously selected for carrying a previous signal communicated by the computing device, the previous signal being different from the signal;

    communicating the signal using the first plurality of sub-channels; and

    retrieving an indication of sub-channels previously selected for carrying the previous signal, where the indication comprises a listing of sub-channels selected during one or more prior performances of the retrieving, selecting, and communicating.
