Abstract
A method of selecting a set of download data providers in a wireless network is disclosed. A request to download a data file from a wireless device is received. A set of potential providers that can provide one or more parts of the data file is determined. The set of potential providers is ranked based on a plurality of indicators that correspond to each of the set of potential provider. The plurality of indicators are each based on one or more wireless network operating conditions. The set of download data providers are selected based on the ranking of the set of potential providers. The data file is transferred to the wireless device by transferring one or more parts of the data file from each of the set of download data providers to the wireless device.
