Abstract

The disclosure provides a method and a device for wireless communication. The method includes: receiving a second signaling and a second MAC PDU, the second signaling indicating a target identity; wherein the second MAC PDU includes a second MAC sub-PDU, the second MAC sub-PDU includes a second MAC sub-header and a first data packet, and the second MAC sub-header includes a second logical channel identity; a first MAC PDU is received by a transmitter of the second MAC PDU; the first MAC PDU includes a first MAC sub-PDU, the first MAC sub-PDU includes a first MAC sub-header and the first data packet, and the first MAC sub-header includes a first logical channel identity; the first logical channel identity is different from the second logical channel identity; the target identity is different from at least one of the first logical channel identity. The disclosure improves the reliability through determining a target identity.
