Claim 32:
33. A method for wireless communications at an access network entity, comprising:
transmitting, to a first user equipment (UE), a feedback configuration for a set of feedback processes that indicates, for at least a subset of the set of feedback processes, a multicast-only configuration or a multicast-or-unicast configuration, wherein the multicast-only configuration indicates that one or more feedback processes of the subset of feedback processes correspond to only multicast data communications, and wherein the multicast-or-unicast configuration indicates that one or more feedback processes of the subset of feedback processes correspond to either multicast data communications or unicast data communications but not to both multicast data communications and unicast data communications concurrently;
transmitting a first multicast data communication to the first UE and at least one or more other UEs, the first multicast data communication associated with a first feedback process of the subset of feedback processes, the first feedback process having a multicast-only configuration; and
receiving, from the first UE, a feedback report based at least in part on the feedback configuration indicating acknowledgment/negative-acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) feedback is to be provided for the first feedback process.
