Abstract:
A method, system, and medium are provided for sharing content among network devices. The system includes at least one base station and network devices that are part of a wireless network. The base station is configured to receive a request for content from a network device. The content may be available on a second network device proximate to the first network device. The base station may generate temporary and permanent keys that allow network devices to access content available on other network devices. The base station, among other functions, may transmit keys, determine proximity settings and facilitate content transfers.
