Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 12:
13. An electronic device, comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive wireless communications; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
configure a target wake time (TWT) process for delivering multicast packets to a group of electronic devices;
communicate, using the transceiver, information associated with the TWT process to at least one electronic device in the group of electronic devices;
determine that a service period associated with the TWT process has started; and
transmit, using the transceiver and in accordance with the TWT process, the multicast packets to the group of electronic devices during the service period,
wherein an End Of Service Period (EOSP) field in a media access control (MAC) header associated with at least one of the multicast packets is set to a first value and a More Data field in the MAC header is set to a second value to indicate that one or more of the multicast packets in the service period have not yet been transmitted, or
wherein the EOSP field in the MAC header is set to the first value and the More Data field in the MAC header is set to a third value to indicate that remaining one or more of the multicast packets in the service period are retransmission data packets.
