Coordination between multicast/broadcast communication and unicast communication

A method of wireless communication performed by a network entity, comprising:

• transmitting a configuration for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the configuration indicates a single packet data convergence protocol layer for both a multicast/broadcast communication and a unicast communication, a first radio link control associated with a first medium access control layer and a first physical layer for the multicast/broadcast communication, and a second radio link control associated with a second medium access control layer and a second physical layer for the unicast communication;
• transmitting a first communication based at least in part on the configuration, the first communication being one of the unicast communication or the multicast/broadcast communication;
• and
• transmitting a second communication based at least in part on the configuration, the second communication being the other of the unicast communication or the multicast/broadcast communication.

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor communicatively coupled with the at least one memory, the at least one processor operable to cause the UE to:
• receive a configuration for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the configuration indicates a single packet data convergence protocol layer for both a multicast/broadcast communication and a unicast communication, a first radio link control associated with a first medium access control layer and a first physical layer for the multicast/broadcast communication, and a second radio link control associated with a second medium access control layer and a second physical layer for the unicast communication;
• receive a first communication based at least in part on the configuration, the first communication being one of the unicast communication or the multicast/broadcast communication;
• and
• receive a second communication based at least in part on the configuration, the second communication being the other of the unicast communication or the multicast/broadcast communication.
