Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the invention, wireless spectrum and battery power conservation is achieved through an adaptable multicast group communication scheme. This involves a method for controlling the multicast transmission rate based on a first operation of receiving information from a multicast receiving device that is a member of a multicast group. Based on this information and potentially other information from other member devices, the modulation and coding rate for the multicast group is altered.

Claim (Index 22):
A method comprising:\n granting, by a network device, a request from a first device to join a particular multicast group; receiving, by the network device from the first device, a first modulation and coding rate; selecting, by the network device, a second modulation and coding rate for the particular multicast group based at least on the first modulation and coding rate received from the first device; receiving, by the network device, feedback information regarding multicast communications that (a) are associated with the particular multicast group and (b) are received by the first device; estimating, by the network device, a frame loss for the first device based at least on the feedback information; adjusting, by the network device, the second modulation and coding rate for the particular multicast group based at least on the frame loss for the first device.
