NOVELTY - The method involves transmitting the multicast data packets (A,B) from the sending node (105) to the receiving nodes (110,120). The acknowledgement message is transmitted from the receiving node to the sending node, when the transmitted data packets are received by the receiving node. The composite data packets are formed by combining two regularly transmitted multicast data packets, when an automatic repeat request (ARQ) is transmitted from the receiving node. USE - Method of encoding and scheduling data packets in sending node of communication system (both claimed). ADVANTAGE - Since the composite data packets are formed by combining two regularly transmitted multicast data packets, the transmission capability of the sending node can be improved. And the data packet loss in the communication system can be prevented. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following: (1) sending node; and (2) communication system. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic view of the data transmission sequence in the communication system. Sending node (105) Receiving nodes (110,120) Multicast data packets (A,B)
