Physical layer association of extended reality data

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive first control information that includes a first packet data unit set identifier associated with a set of different packet data units that collectively represent a data unit for decoding;
• identify a packet data unit is a part of the set of different packet data units that corresponds to the first packet data unit set identifier based at least in part on the first control information;
• and
• determine whether to include the packet data unit in communications with a network entity, wherein the determining is based at least in part on the packet data unit being part of the set of different packet data units associated with the first packet data unit set identifier.
