Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for multicast communication. The method which may be performed by a terminal device comprises receiving an uplink resource indicator for a multicast traffic of the terminal device from a network node. The uplink resource indicator may be used to indicate different uplink resources for multicast feedback of different terminal devices in a multicast group receiving the multicast traffic. The method further comprises determining an uplink resource for multicast feedback of the terminal device for the multicast traffic, according to the uplink resource indicator. In accordance with 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.
