DOWNLINK MULTICAST METHOD IN WIRELESS INTERNET PROTOCOL SYSTEM

摘要

A method for determining multicast versus unicast of packet data is a wireless communication system establishes (102) a target member set which represents the wireless terminals (10-14) served by an access point (30-32) which wireless terminals a members of a multicast group. The access point receives (104) the packet data. The access point next determines (106) a destination subset of the target member set of wireless terminals. The destination subset is those wireless terminals which are to receive the packet data.
