Abstract

Method and device in a node used for wireless communications. A first node receives first configuration information; transmits a first positioning reference signal on a first time-frequency resource block, transmits a second positioning reference signal on a second time-frequency resource block, and transmits a first information set; the first configuration information is used for indicating a first reference set, and any two time-frequency resource blocks in the first resource set employ a same positioning-related parameter; the first time-frequency resource block is earlier than the second time-frequency resource block in time domain; the first information set comprises a first distance, and the first distance refers to a distance from a first geographical position and a second geographical position, wherein the first geographical position is where the first node is located when transmitting the first positioning reference signal. The present disclosure provides an effective solution to the issue of sidelink positioning.
