A system and method for reliable multicast communications is disclosed herein. In one aspect, a first station may receive a first multicast frame having a first modulation and coding scheme and a first sequence number. The station may then receive a subsequent negative acknowledgement request having a second modulation and coding scheme and a indicating a second sequence number for previously transmitted multicast frame, with the second modulation and coding scheme having a lower data rate than the first modulation and coding scheme. The station may then selectively acknowledge the negative acknowledgement request based on a comparison of first sequence number and the second sequence number. In another aspect, the station transmits a negative acknowledgement if the second sequence number does not match the first sequence number and may further receive acknowledgement frame from an access point. |
