Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for multicast communication. The method which may be performed by a terminal device comprises receiving a first downlink channel including a first downlink assignment index from a network node. The first downlink channel is associated with a first traffic of the terminal device. The method further comprises determining that the first downlink assignment index is for the first traffic, according to the association between the first downlink channel and the first traffic. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, hybrid automatic repeat request feedback may be implemented efficiently and flexibly for different traffics such as multicast and unicast traffics.
