1. A station for facilitating communication in a wireless network for a transmission, the station comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories, the one or more processors configured to:
generate a first frame that comprises a plurality of data units, wherein each of the plurality of data units is associated with traffic information;
transmit the first frame to a wireless device in the wireless network; and
receive a second frame comprising one or more per-station information fields, each of the one or more per-station information fields comprising a first subfield that is set to a first predetermined value and a second subfield,
wherein the first subfield indicates whether the plurality of data units were received successfully and the first predetermined value indicates successful reception of all of the plurality of data units carried in the first frame that has elicited the second frame,
wherein the second subfield indicates whether the plurality of data units were received successfully when they are associated with different types of traffic information.
