Claim 18:
19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
configuring a target wake time (TWT) process for delivering multicast packets to a group of electronic devices, wherein the configuring the TWT process comprises:
determining a TWT schedule in response to a request for the TWT process from at least one electronic device in the group of electronic devices; or
determining a broadcast TWT schedule;

determining that a service period associated with the TWT process has started;
setting a More Data field in a media access control (MAC) header associated with at least one of the multicast packets to a first value and an End of Service Period (EOSP) field in the MAC header associated with the at least one of the multicast packets to a second value to indicate that remaining one or more of the multicast packets in the service period are retransmission data packets; and
transmitting, based on at least one of the TWT schedule or the broadcast TWT schedule, the multicast packets to the group of electronic devices during the service period.
