Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and device in nodes for wireless communication. A first node receives first information; and receives a first signaling. The first information is used for determining K resource blocks; the K resource blocks respectively correspond to K reference-signal resource groups; any reference-signal resource in the K reference-signal resource groups corresponds to one of M first-type indexes; the first signaling is used for activating a first index in the M first-type indexes; a first resource block is any of the K resource blocks, a first reference-signal resource is used for determining a spatial relation of the first resource block, and the first reference-signal resource is one reference-signal resource corresponding to the first index in a reference-signal resource group corresponding to the first resource block. The above method employs information selected by TRP/panel, thus reducing a signaling overhead and delay of beam management.
