Wirelessly Sending a Set of Encoded Data Slices

摘要

A method begins by a dispersed storage (DS) processing module selecting a subset of a set of encoded data slices, wherein the subset of encoded data slices includes less than a decode threshold number of encoded data slices. When a receiving entity is affiliated with a first wireless communication resource, the method continues with the DS processing module outputting the subset of encoded data slices via the first wireless communication resource to the receiving entity, wherein the first wireless communication resource has a first wireless geographic coverage area. When the receiving entity is affiliated with a second wireless communication resource and is located outside of the first wireless geographic coverage area, the method continues with the DS processing module outputting one or more encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices via the second wireless communication resource to the receiving entity.
