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 12):
The method of  claim 8 , wherein the common transmission time is one of a series of common transmission times for the group of access points, the method further including adapting a rate of the common transmission times for the group of access points based on an indication of link quality.
