Abstract:
Devices and methods for synchronized group messaging in a wireless communication system are described. Multicast transmissions, such as those in a dense network, can cause significant medium usage because same multicast packet is likely sent by multiple APs at different time. Medium usage in such implementations may be redundant. As such, the transmission medium is not used optimally. Devices and methods which coordinate and align group messages (e.g., multicast packets) amongst APs are described. Each AP may be configured to transmit identical packets at the same time. Therefore, medium usage can be reduced, while the range can be extended due to accumulated energy from APs.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:\n receiving access point information, the access point information including one or more of: a load on the at least one second access point, wireless channel information, or an identification of multicast streams to be used for the synchronized wireless communications; and determining the common transmission time based on the access point information.
