Abstract

The disclosure provides a method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station for wireless communication. The UE receives first information, listens in a first frequency subband, and transmits a first radio signal in the first frequency subband starting from a first time-position. The first time-position is in a first time window, and the act of listening is used for determining the first time-position; the first time-position is one of L candidate time-position(s) in the first time window; the first information and a time domain position of the first time window are used together for determining at least one of the L and the L candidate time-position(s) in the first time window; and the L is a positive integer. The disclosure improves the utilization of radio resources in Autonomous UpLink (AUL) transmission, avoids interferences between UEs, and guarantees the fairness of channel occupancy between different UEs.
