This paper proposes a novel method of wireless multicast communication with a mixed mode of connection and connectionless orientation. Taking advantage of broadcast characteristics of wireless media and overcoming the independent errors in the transmission, we establish a new algorithm to minimize the transmission time. A state transition of transmission of connection and connectionless mode are described. With random and burst BER for each terminals assumed, the performances are analyzed with computer simulation. It is shown that the total transmission time was much reduced compared with that of the conventional system.
