    A multicast (point-to-multipoint) protocol of a satellite broadcast channel by a source and many destinations is presented and its performance characteristics are analyzed. We propose a new time-domain multicast scheme for packet satellite channels, retransmission via collisions protocol (called RVCP). RVCP is classified to the automatic repeat request (ARQ) of the multi-selective-repeat scheme and does not require individual channels for each receiving station to request for broadcast packets that have been received incorrectly. Our analytical models show that RVCP performs considerably better than the other protocols, particularly in the situation that packet error rate is less than 10-4 or there are a large number of destinations. It is an excellent characteristic of RVCP that the equipment of the source station need not increase in proportion to the number of destinations, too. And since RVCP is a relatively simple protocol, it is easy to be implemented.
