Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method begins by a processing module concurrently encoding a collection of data segments to produce sets of encoded data slices, where each set includes a total number of encoded data slices and where a decode threshold number of encoded data slices is required to recover a corresponding data segment. The method continues with the processing module determining a transmit number to be initially greater than the decode threshold number and less than the total number. The method continues with the processing module selecting a transmit number of encoded data slices from each set of encoded data slices to produce sets of transmit encoded data slices. The method continues with the processing module randomizing ordering of the sets of transmit encoded data slices to produce a random order of encoded data slices and transmitting encoded data slices of the random order of encoded data slices.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for robust transmission of data by one or more processing modules of one or more computing devices, the method comprises: dividing the data for transmission into a plurality of data partitions, wherein a data partition includes a plurality of data segments; and for a collection of data segments that includes one or more data segments of the plurality of data segments from one or more of the plurality of data partitions: concurrently encoding the…
