This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for implementing a retransmission protocol in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The retransmission protocol may be based on a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) protocol that supports a delayed acknowledgement for a HARQ retransmission based on receiver processing capability. A first WLAN device may determine that a second WLAN device requires more time to process the HARQ retransmission and may transmit a different communication (interlaced within the HARQ process) to either the second WLAN device or a third WLAN device during the time that the second WLAN device is processing the HARQ retransmission.

Provided in the present invention are a control method for user equipment, and user equipment. The control method for user equipment (UE) comprises: receiving, by the UE, a channel state information (CSI) request transmitted by other UE; generating, by the UE, on the basis of the CSI request, a CSI report transmitted through a PSSCH, and sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling and indicating the transmission of the PSSCH; and setting, on the basis of whether the PSSCH carries a MAC protocol data unit (MAC PDU), a quality of service (QoS) parameter related to the QoS of the PSSCH transmission included in the SCI.

A method of receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method comprises receiving configuration information related to the PDSCH, receiving a message representing an activation of a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state related to the PDSCH, receiving physical downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the PDSCH, and receiving the PDSCH based on the DCI. Specific frequency domains related to the activation are determined based on the message, and the activated TCI states are related to the specific frequency domains.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a target user equipment (UE) may receive a channel state information (CSI) reference signal (RS) from a source UE via a sidelink communication; determine that a lower-layer determined source identifier of the source UE is included in a set of upper-layer determined source identifiers; and transmit a CSI report in a media access control (MAC) control element (CE) as a response to the CSI RS, based at least in part on the determination that the lower-layer determined source identifier of the source UE is included in a set of upper-layer determined source identifiers. Numerous other aspects are provided.

This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for communicating over multiple links, for example, indicating buffered units (BUs) per traffic identifier (TID) for transmission to multi-link devices (MLDs). One innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented in a method for wireless communication. The method can be performed, for example, by a non-access point (non-AP) MLD. The non-AP MLD can receive an indication of an association identifier (AID) associated with the non-AP MLD, wherein the indication of the AID indicates whether an AP has BUs for the non-AP MLD, determine one or more links associated with one or more TIDs based on a mapping of a plurality of TIDs, including the one or more TIDs, to a plurality of links, including the one or more links, receive the BUs associated with the one or more TIDs from the AP on the determined links.

A method and apparatus for transmission based on QoS requirement in a wireless communication system is provided. A wireless device sets a priority level of a logical channel. A wireless device detects that Quality of Service (QoS) requirement of the logical channel is not met. A wireless device de-prioritizes the priority level of the logical channel. A wireless device performs the SL transmission and/or the UL transmission for the logical channel with the de-prioritized priority level.
