ABSTRACT:
A method for multicasting information, the method includes: utilizing a distributed media access control scheme for allocating at least one timeslot for a transmission of information from a first device to a group of peer devices and for a transmission of acknowledgement messages from the peer devices of the group; and transmitting the information in response to the allocation. A computer readable medium having code embodied therein for causing an electronic device to perform the stages of: utilizing a distributed media access control scheme for allocating at least one timeslot for a transmission of information from a first device to a group of peer devices and for a transmission of acknowledgement messages from the peer devices of the group; and transmitting the information in response to the allocation. A device including a medium access controller adapted to participate in a distributed media access control scheme that allocates at least one timeslot for a transmission of information from the device to a group of peer devices and for a transmission of acknowledgement messages from the peer devices of the group; and transmission circuitry adapted to transmit the information in response to the allocation.
