Claim 23:
24. An apparatus of a second wireless local area network (WLAN) device, comprising:
one or more processors configured to process hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) transmissions from a first WLAN device; and
one or more interfaces configured to:
output for transmission to the first WLAN device a first indication of a first amount of memory available at the second WLAN device for processing HARQ transmissions;
obtain a first HARQ frame from the first WLAN device, the first HARQ frame associated with the first amount of memory available at the second WLAN device for processing HARQ transmissions;
output a HARQ feedback message for transmission to the first WLAN device based at least in part on the first HARQ frame, the HARQ feedback message including a second indication of a second amount of memory available at the second WLAN device for processing HARQ transmissions and a third indication of a maximum number of HARQ transmissions per transmission opportunity (TXOP), wherein the second amount of memory is based at least in part on the first amount of memory and the HARQ feedback message; and
obtain a second HARQ frame from the first WLAN device based at least in part on the HARQ feedback message, the second HARQ frame associated with the second amount of memory available at the second WLAN device for processing HARQ transmissions and the maximum number of HARQ transmissions per TXOP.
