Abstract

An example system includes a transceiver. The transceiver communicates multicast frames to a plurality of client devices in a multicast group. The system further includes a controller. The controller determines that a predetermined time has passed since the transceiver most recently sent a unicast transmission to one of the plurality of client devices. The controller instructs the transceiver to transmit a unicast frame to the one of the plurality of client devices. The controller computes a data rate for the one of the plurality of client devices based on the transmission of the unicast frame to the one of the plurality of client devices.
