Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and a device in wireless communication. In an embodiment, a UE receives a first signaling; and then receives a first radio signal in a target time-frequency resource. Herein, the first signaling is used for determining at least the former of a subcarrier spacing corresponding to a first radio signal and the target time-frequency resource, the first signaling is a physical layer signaling. The present disclosure allows multiple subcarrier spacings to be dynamically configured on a same frequency band so as to ensure that a same bandwidth meets various bandwidth requirements posed by different applications. In addition, the present disclosure prevents the UE from determining a subcarrier spacing through blind detection, thus reducing the complexity of the UE.
