Abstract

The disclosure provides a method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station for wireless communication. UE transmits first information, the first information being used for determining a first reference signal, then the UE receives second information in a first frequency subband in a first time window and detects third information in a second frequency subband in a second time window; the first time window is related to time-domain resources occupied by the first information; a first antenna port is used for transmitting the first reference signal, each antenna port used for transmitting the second information is spatially related to the first antenna port, and each antenna port used for transmitting the third information is spatially related to the first antenna port. The disclosure simplifies the processes of beam link failure judgement and beam management for a UE, thereby improving the overall performance of the system.
