Abstract:
Different bitloading may be applied to different subsets of an Multicast (MC) group. Alternatively, the same bitloading may be applied to several or all of the subsets of an MC group. Such subset, or MC subgroup, may be formed as a result of considering bitloading capabilities of nodes of an MC group. In one embodiment, information is transmitted multiple times, once for each MC subgroup, each subgroup with a different bitloading. Such a process may improve overall throughput and efficiency for delivering packets to nodes of a network.
