Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, at a receiver, a maximum verification wait time signaled to a plurality of receivers, wherein at least one time instant at which said receiver is allowed to transmit a delivery verification report to acknowledge reception of a set of data objects transmitted to said receivers in a point-to-multipoint session at least partially depends on said signaled maximum verification wait time, and receiving a maximum repair wait time signaled to said receivers, wherein at least one time instant at which said receiver is allowed to transmit a repair request to indicate that reception of at least one repair data object is required at least partially depends on said signaled maximum repair wait time, wherein said at least one time instant at which said receiver is allowed to transmit a delivery verification report is randomly selected from a time interval that is at least partially determined by said maximum verification wait time, and wherein said at least one time instant at which said receiver is allowed to transmit a repair request is randomly selected from a time interval that is at least partially determined by said maximum repair wait time.
