Methods and apparatus for efficient wireless communication of file information
Efficient methods for wirelessly communicating file content under varying conditions are described. A wireless device determines, based on mobility and/or geographic location, if the wireless device is to operate in a first mode of communication operation in which received portions of said file are re-transmitted or a second mode of communication operation in which combinations of portions of said file are transmitted. The wireless device transmits packets communicating received file portions when it is determined that the wireless device is to operate in said first mode of operation and transmits packets communicating combinations of file portions, e.g., linear combinations of file portions, when it is determined that the wireless device is to operate in said second mode of operation. The contents of a file may be obtained from some packets which communicate distinct portions of the file and other packets which communicate combinations of distinct portions of the file.
