Abstract

The present application provides a method and device for wireless communications. A first node receives a first data unit at a MAC sublayer; receives a first signaling, the first signaling indicates a first time-domain resource, the first time-domain resource is reserved for retransmission of a first MAC PDU, the first MAC PDU comprises the first data unit; wherein a first time length is a length of a time interval between a reception of the first data unit and the first time-domain resource, whether to transmit first control information depends on a size relation between the first time length and a first time threshold; the first control information is used to indicate dropping retransmission of the first MAC PDU. The present application can effectively improve radio efficiency, reduce transmission delay, and reduce power consumption of the UE.
