In this paper we investigate single-hop multicast transmission in which randomly located multiple transmitters multicast packets to a cluster of receivers. Packet retransmission is known as a promising mechanism for improving the transmission reliability. Our focus is on evaluating (i) the minimum required delay (retransmission attempts), τ*, for establishing an outage-free multicast, where a transmitted packet is successfully decoded by entire nodes in the cluster, and (ii) Multicast Progress Radius (MPR) for a given delay constraint. MPR indicates how far, on average, a packet can successfully progress in a cluster without outage while the retransmission delay is restricted. Assuming general fading distribution, we derive closed-form expressions for the cumulative distribution function of τ*, and MPR. By simulations we confirmed our analysis and studied the impact of several system parameters on the MPR. Based on results of this paper we conclude that outage-free multicast requires a very large number of retransmission attempts, thus not practically achievable only based on retransmission.
