Abstract

Transmission of multicast packets over a local area network (30, 40, 50) is controlled by: - identifying the condition where only a single receiver (40, 50) exists within the local area network (30, 40, 50) for a given multicast group of packets, and - allowing, upon occurrence of that condition, Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) of the packets multicast towards said single receiver (40, 50). A preferred field of application is wireless local area networks for use in a home environment.
