For different number of multicast destination, two different upper bounds of multicast capacity are given. When the number of multicast destination is , an upper bound of multicast capacity is when the number of multicast destination is , an upper bound of multicast capacity is . A strategy of MAC and routing which can achieve the lower bound of multicast capacity of power- constraint UWB wireless ad hoc networks is designed and the lower bound of multicast capacity is . These results extend the foregoing work on unicast capacity for UWB wireless ad hoc networks.
