We address the use of maximum distance separable (MDS) codes for distributedstorage (DS) to enable efficient content delivery in wireless networks. Contentis stored in a number of the mobile devices and can be retrieved from themusing device-to-device communication or, alternatively, from the base station(BS). We derive an analytical expression for the download delay in thehypothesis that the reliability state of the network is periodically restored.Our analysis shows that MDS-coded DS can dramatically reduce the download timewith respect to the reference scenario where content is always downloaded fromthe BS.
