Abstract

The present application discloses a method and device for wireless communications, comprising receiving a first signaling, the first signaling being used to configure a first threshold; as a response to any condition in a first condition set being satisfied, executing a first measurement; wherein the first measurement comprises at least one of a layer 3 filtered beam measurement and a cell measurement, two conditions in the first condition set are that RSRP of a first cell after layer 3 filtering is lower than a first threshold and a first message applied to the first cell is received; the first cell is an SpCell; the first message is non-unicast, and/or, the first message is not supported by a legacy device. The present application allows for better power saving through the first signaling.
