Abstract
A method of multicast data rate selection in an access point includes: establishing respective connections between the access point and a plurality of client devices; determining whether to set a legacy client presence flag in a memory of the access point based on whether the plurality of client devices includes or does not include a legacy client device; prior to initiating a multicast transmission to the plurality of client devices, determining whether the legacy client presence flag is set; when the legacy client presence flag is set, setting a selected multicast data rate corresponding to a first maximum data rate in a subset of legacy-compatible data rates stored in the memory; and when the legacy client presence flag is not set, setting the selected multicast data rate corresponding to a second maximum data rate in a subset of non-legacy-compatible data rates stored in the memory.
