Abstract
A method and system for communicating packets in a Wireless Multicast and Broadcast communication network is provided. The method includes selecting a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) for transmission of a packet. The packet is then transmitted using the selected MCS on at least one of a subset of available time slots, a subset of available frequency sub-carriers and a subset of available antennas. Thereafter, it is autonomously decided whether the plurality of transmitters are to retransmit the packet. Then, the packet is retransmitted on at least one of a different subset of time slots, a different subset of frequency sub-carriers and a different subset of antennas.
