The present invention, in preferred aspects, provides a communication method using a network coding packet in a wireless network, with reduced occurrence of negative acknowledgements, between a access point and plural mobile terminals. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, a communication method using a network coding packet in a wireless network comprises: (a) transmitting plural downlink multicast packets, each containing serial numbers of packets, to the first and second mobile terminals sequentially; (b) receiving a first negative acknowledgement from the first mobile terminal; (c) receiving a second negative acknowledgement from the first mobile terminal or the second negative acknowledgement skipping the first negative acknowledgement on occurrence of the first packet error at the second mobile terminal; and (d) transmitting a restoration packet containing exclusive OR packet of all errored packets in the restoration period defined in reference to the second negative acknowledgement from the first and second mobile terminals.

Communication method using code packet in wireless network

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for multicast transmission of a transmitting station in a wireless network. The method according to the present invention transmits a plurality of data packets to a plurality of receiving stations, receives information on loss of the plurality of the data packets from at least one of the plurality of the receiving stations, codes the plurality of the data packets into a single coded data packet based on the information on the loss of the plurality of the data packets and transmits an error control frame including the coded data packet to the plurality of the receiving stations. Therefore, when an error occurs at a data packet that a transmitting station transmits to a plurality of receiving stations by a multicast transmission, a number of retransmission of the data packet can be reduced.
