RECEIVING ENCODED DATA SLICES VIA WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
First Claim
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, 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 configured receivers;
facilitating the 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.

Abstract
A method begins by a processing module 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. The method continues with the processing module configuring, in accordance with the mapping, receivers of a wireless communication device to receive, via a set of wireless channels, at least some of the set of encoded data slices to produce configured receivers. The method continues with the processing module facilitating the 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.
