Abstract

The disclosure provides a method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station for wireless communication. The UE first transmits a first radio signal, and then transmits a second radio signal; wherein the first radio signal includes M 1 first radio sub-signal(s), and a first sequence is used for generating the first radio sub-signal; the second radio signal includes M 2 second radio sub-signal(s), and a first bit block is used for generating the second radio sub-signal; the M 1 is a positive integer, the M 2 is a positive integer in a target set, and each element in the target set is a positive integer; and the target set is correlated with at least one of the M 1 or the first sequence. The disclosure can save overheads caused by control information and improve spectrum efficiency of uplink transmission.
