Abstract:
A method for a dispersed storage network (DSN) determines wireless connectivity metrics when a wireless device has a data file to store. The method includes determining a storage method including storing the data file locally in the wireless device as a data file, storing encoded data slices of the data file in wireless devices or storing encoded data slices of the data file in DSN memory. For storing in wireless devices or in DSN memory, the wireless device sends a subscription request message and determines a storage designation to include any of: store locally, store indirect, or store direct; and for a determination of indirect, the wireless device sends the data file to the DS processing unit; and for direct, determines operational parameters, creates encoded data slices of the data file in accordance with the operational parameters, determines storage locations and sends the encoded data slices to other wireless devices.

Claim (Index 16):
A method for execution by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices of a dispersed storage network (DSN), the method comprises:\n receiving, by a wireless device, a request to retrieve encoded data slices, wherein the request includes a retrieve slice command, slice names, and a priority indicator from one or more of: the wireless device, a DS processing unit, a storage integrity processing unit, a DS managing unit, or a DS unit; determining wireless connectivity metrics; determining a subscription status; for an active subscription status, retrieving the encoded data slices based on a lookup in a virtual DSN address to physical location table; determining a retrieval outcome, the retrieval outcome including an indication of whether the retrieval was favorable or unfavorable based on one or more of: slice names listed in the virtual DSN address to physical location table, encoded data slices present in memory, or verification of a stored checksum compared to a currently calculated checksum of the encoded data slice; determining a retrieval outcome to be favorable or not favorable; and for a not favorable retrieval outcome, sending a retrieval response message; and for a favorable retrieval outcome, sending the encoded data slices to a requester.
