Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method and a device in a node for wireless communications. A first node judges whether the first node is in coverage; and then transmits Q second-type radio signals; herein, the Q second-type radio signals respectively comprise Q pieces of first-type information; whether each of the Q second-type radio signals can be selected as a synchronization reference is related to its comprised first-type information; the Q pieces of first-type information are independently generated, or, whether the Q pieces of first-type information are independently generated is related to whether the first node is in coverage, Q being a positive integer greater than 1. The present disclosure improves transmission reliability of Sidelink.

Claims (37)

1. A method in a first node for wireless communications, comprising:

judging whether the first node is in coverage; and

transmitting Q second-type radio signals;

wherein the Q second-type radio signals respectively comprise Q pieces of first-type information; whether each of the Q second-type radio signals can be selected as a synchronization reference is related to its comprised first-type information; the Q pieces of first-type information are independently generated, or, whether the Q pieces of first-type information are independently generated is related to whether the first node is in coverage; and Q is a positive integer greater than 1.

2. The method according to claim 1 , comprising:

receiving P first-type radio signal(s), P being a positive integer;

wherein each of the Q pieces of first-type information is related to Spatial Rx parameter(s) of one of the P first-type radio signal(s).

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the Q second-type radio signals comprises a second information, the second information being used for indicating whether the first node is in coverage.

4. The method according to claim 3 , comprising:

receiving a target-specific signal, and judging whether the first node is in coverage according to target received quality of the target-specific signal.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein when the first node is in coverage, the Q pieces of first-type information are independently generated; and when the first node is out of coverage, the Q pieces of first-type information are not independently generated.

6. A method in a second node for wireless communications, comprising:

receiving Q0 second-type radio signal(s) of Q second-type radio signals;

wherein the Q second-type radio signals respectively comprise Q pieces of first-type information; whether each of the Q0 second-type radio signal(s) can be selected as a synchronization reference is related to its comprised first-type information; the Q pieces of first-type information are independently generated, or, whether the Q pieces of first-type information are independently generated is related to whether the transmitter of the Q second-type radio signals is in coverage; Q is a positive integer greater than 1, and Q0 is a positive integer no greater than the Q.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein each of the Q0 piece(s) of first-type information is related to Spatial Rx parameter(s) of one of P first-type radio signal(s), the P first-type radio signal(s) is(are) received by the transmitter of the Q second-type radio signals; and P is a positive integer.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein each of the Q0 second-type radio signal(s) comprises a second information, the second information indicating whether the transmitter of the Q second-type radio signals is in coverage.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein received quality of a received target-specific signal is used by the transmitter of the Q second-type radio signals for judging whether the transmitter of the Q second-type radio signals is in coverage.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein when the transmitter of the Q second-type radio signals is in coverage, the Q pieces of first-type information are independently generated; and when the transmitter of the Q second-type radio signals is out of coverage, the Q pieces of first-type information are not independently generated.

11. A first node for wireless communications, comprising:

a first processor: judging whether the first node is in coverage; and

a first transmitter: transmitting Q second-type radio signals;

wherein the Q second-type radio signals respectively comprise Q pieces of first-type information; whether each of the Q second-type radio signals can be selected as a synchronization reference is related to its comprised first-type information; the Q pieces of first-type information are independently generated, or, whether the Q pieces of first-type information are independently generated is related to whether the first node is in coverage; and Q is a positive integer greater than 1.

12. The first node according to claim 11 , wherein each of the Q second-type radio signals comprises a second information, the second information being used for indicating whether the first node is in coverage.

13. The first node according to claim 12 , comprising:

a first receiver: receiving P first-type radio signal(s), P being a positive integer;

wherein each of the Q pieces of first-type information is related to Spatial Rx parameter(s) of one of the P first-type radio signal(s).

14. The first node according to claim 12 , comprising:

the first receiver: receiving a target-specific signal, and judging whether the first node is in coverage according to target received quality of the target-specific signal.

15. The first node according to claim 14 , wherein when the first node is in coverage, the Q pieces of first-type information are independently generated; and when the first node is out of coverage, the Q pieces of first-type information are not independently generated.

16. A second node for wireless communications, comprising:

a second receiver: receiving Q0 second-type radio signal(s) of Q second-type radio signals;

wherein the Q second-type radio signals respectively comprise Q pieces of first-type information; whether each of the Q0 second-type radio signal(s) can be selected as a synchronization reference is related to its comprised first-type information; the Q pieces of first-type information are independently generated, or, whether the Q pieces of first-type information are independently generated is related to whether the transmitter of the Q second-type radio signals is in coverage; Q is a positive integer greater than 1, and Q0 is a positive integer no greater than the Q.

17. The second node according to claim 16 , wherein each of the Q0 piece(s) of first-type information is related to Spatial Rx parameter(s) of one of P first-type radio signal(s), the P first-type radio signal(s) is(are) received by the transmitter of the Q second-type radio signals; and P is a positive integer.
