1. A method for wireless communication by a wireless communication device, comprising:
receiving, from a transmitting device, a first physical-layer protocol data unit (PPDU) including a number of codewords representing a number of first medium access control (MAC) protocol data units (MPDUs);
comparing a first decoding quality of the received codewords with a second decoding quality of the first MPDUs, wherein the first decoding quality of the received codewords is associated with a physical layer of the wireless communication device, and wherein the second decoding quality of the first MPDUs is associated with a MAC layer of the wireless communication device; and
selecting, responsive to comparing the first decoding quality associated with the physical layer with the second decoding quality associated with the MAC layer, one of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) sequence or an automatic repeat request (ARQ) sequence as feedback, the selected HARQ sequence or the selected ARQ sequence indicating whether or not portions of the first PPDU were successfully decoded by the wireless communication device.
