The software distribution in advanced IoT networks is inevitable. However, distributing software in multi-hop wireless networks consumes enormous communication bandwidth and can also suffer from reliability challenge. This paper proposes an innovative dynamic relay point (DRP) protocol to reduce the number of software packet transmissions. It also introduces a network condition based rateless coding scheme to improve the packet transmission reliability. The NS3 simulator is employed for performance evaluation. The proposed DRP protocol outperforms multi-point relay (MPR) baseline by reducing the software packet transmissions and improving the effective throughput.
