A method and system enables and improves performance of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) operations on channels between stations of an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) wireless communication network. There, the number of parallel HARQ channels is increased adaptively, and one connection identifier is used to unambiguously identify a set of MAC protocol data units (MPDUs) communicated over parallel HARQ channels. A sequence number is used to avoid out-of-order MPDU delivery when MPDUs are transmitted over parallel HARQ channels. The MPDUs can be concatenated or encapsulated. The maximum number of the parallel HARQ channels can be increased to 256, and can be negotiated when a station enters or re-enters the network.
