## Abstract

Embodiments of this disclosure relate to a wireless communication method, a device, a storage medium, and a computer program product. The method proposed herein includes: A receiving device generates a feedback frame in response to receiving of an aggregated frame, where the feedback frame includes first indication information and second indication information, the first indication information indicates a window size of a feedback window used to transmit the feedback frame, the window size is determined based on configuration information associated with the feedback window, and the second indication information indicates receiving status information of receiving the aggregated frame by the receiving device; and the receiving device sends the feedback frame to a sending device in the feedback window. This disclosure provides a frame structure of the block acknowledgment-based feedback frame, so that the feedback window used to transmit the feedback frame can be dynamically adjusted at a fine granularity.
