Abstract:
Example implementations relate to multicast multi-user grouping. For example, an apparatus may comprise a processing resource that may rank a plurality of stations associated with the apparatus based on a characteristic associated with a first multicast group containing a first set of stations among the plurality of stations, and a characteristic associated with a second multicast group containing a second set of stations among the plurality of stations. The processing resource may assign a first group of stations from the first multicast group and the second multicast group to a first multi-user group and assign a second group of stations from the first multicast group and the second multicast group to a second multi-user group. The processing resource may convert a multicast frame associated with a station from the first multi-user group to a unicast frame, and transmit the unicast frame to each station in the first multi-user group.

Claim (Index 8):
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to:\n determine that:\n a first plurality of stations (STAs) are associated with a first multicast (MC) group; and \n a second plurality of STAs are associated with a second MC group; \n rank the first MC group and the second MC group based, at least in part, on a time cost associated with the first MC group and a time cost associated with the second MC group; assign:\n a first set of STAs among the first plurality of STAs to a first multi-user (MU) group; \n a second set of STAs among the first plurality of STAs to a second MU group; and \n a first set of STAs among the second plurality of STAs to a third MU group; \n convert a MC frame associated with a STA among the first set of STAs associated with the first MU group to unicast (UC) frame; and transmit the UC frame to each STA in the first MU group.
