Why should an AP not be able to convert multicast-unicast. All it would ahve to do is IGMPv3 snooping to know the clients connected to it. And it does know the per-client bitrate, aka: how far or how close a client is. I guess the one things that not possible is to send the smae multicast

Indeed, an 802.11 AP should be able to do this without breaking 802.11. However, there are probably wider cases where unicast fanout is worth doing. BTW, it's a common misconception that 802.11 transmit rates have something to do with range; actually, they're only very weakly correlated with

As far as I know, the operators prefer native multicast for IPTV applications, for a good reason. It seem like this is the application that  Mark has in mind. So, yes, it is a fairly good idea to study how multicast delivery could be accomplished by a series of unicast transmission.   There
