Abstract
The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for managing multicast addresses and connectivity arrangements for transporting multicast data in a wireless network. According to certain aspects, embodiments of the invention enable allocation of multicast addresses to facilitate reliable multicast/groupcast transmissions by any device in a wireless network, and not just an access point, as well as in wireless networks where there is no support for 802.11aa. According to certain other aspects, embodiments of the invention allow for multicast transmission to sinks in a wireless network that are not reachable to the source device even in presence of an access point that does not support IEEE 802.11aa.
