1. A first apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program codes;
the at least one memory and the computer program codes are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the first apparatus at least to:
in accordance with a determination that a data unit is not successfully transmitted using a resource associated with an original Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, HARQ, process, determine a set of allowed HARQ processes for transmitting the data unit based on at least one condition,
wherein the first apparatus is caused to determine the set of allowed HARQ processes based on the at least one condition by:
determining at least one threshold level of a logical channel priority;
determining a level of a logical channel priority of data in the data unit; and
determining the set of allowed HARQ processes based on a comparison between the level of the logical channel priority of the data and the at least one threshold level;
select a further resource associated with a target HARQ process from the set of allowed HARQ processes; and
transmit the data unit using the further resource to a second apparatus.
