    Abstract: A method and system for a client device to download media content directly from a group of other client devices which play a role of edge servers placed by a content service provider. According to some embodiments, an end user can use his/her client device to stream or download media content from the source client devices selected based on the geographic locality, network topology, etc. The fractions of data corresponding to a portion of media content are stored on the source client devices such that only a subset of the fractions of data are needed to recreate the corresponding portion. That is, by using the first received of the minimum number of fractions to reconstruct each portion of media content, the system does not need to wait for the slowest fractions to arrive, which contributes in reducing latency.

    Abstract translation: 一种用于客户机设备直接从播放由内容服务提供商放置的边缘服务器的角色的其他客户端设备的组中下载媒体内容的方法和系统。 根据一些实施例,最终用户可以使用他/她的客户端设备来从基于地理位置,网络拓扑等选择的源客户端设备中流式传输或下载媒体内容。对应于媒体内容的一部分的数据部分是 存储在源客户端设备上,使得仅需要数据分数的子集来重新创建对应的部分。 也就是说,通过使用第一个接收到的最小数量的分数来重建媒体内容的每个部分,系统不需要等待最慢分数到达,这有助于减少等待时间。
