Systems, methods, devices, and machine-readable media for improved communication between a software defined radio front end device and a network based computing device are disclosed in some examples. Rather than grouping samples together, the same bit position from multiple ADC samples can be grouped together. If a quality of service (QoS) metric of a network connection between the RF front end device and the network based processing compute falls below a threshold, the RF front end device can preferentially transmit groups with higher significant bits over groups with lower significant bits. In other examples, the RF front end device can prefer samples corresponding to certain data types over other data types.
