Abstract:
1. A method comprises: determining a mapping of encoded data slices to wireless channels for wireless communication of data, wherein a data segment of the data is encoded in accordance with a dispersed storage error encoding protocol to produce a set of encoded data slices and wherein a first encoded data slice of the set of encoded data slices is associated with a first wireless channel of a set of wireless channels; configuring, in accordance with the mapping, one or more receivers of a wireless communication device to receive, via the set of wireless channels, at least some of the set of encoded data slices to produce one or more configured receivers; facilitating the one or more configured receivers to receive encoded data slices of the set of encoded data slices to produce received encoded data slices; and when at least a decode threshold number of received encoded data slices have been received, decoding the received encoded data slices to recapture the data segment; when the decode threshold number of encoded data slices have not been received within a predetermined period of time:
