Storing multiple copies of files is crucial for ensuring quality of service for data storage in mobile networks. This paper proposes a new scheme, called the K-out-of-N file distribution scheme, for the placement of files. In this scheme files are splitted, and Reed-Solomon codes or other Maximum Distance Seperable (MDS) codes are used to produce file segments containing parity information. Multiple copies of the file segments are stored on gateways in the network in such a way that every gateway can retrieve enough file segments from itself and its neighbors within a certain amount of hops for reconstructing the original files. The goal is to minimize the maximum number of hops it takes for any gateway to get enough file segments for the file reconstruction.
