Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and device in nodes for wireless communication. A first node firstly receives a first signaling, the first signaling being used to indicate a first zone identifier; and then determines whether a first signal is transmitted according to the first zone identifier and a target zone identifier; when the determination result is yes, the first signal is transmitted in a first radio resource set; when the determination result is no, the first signal transmission is cancelled in the first radio resource set; when the first signal is associated with a first reference signal. The present disclosure optimizes determination upon sidelink feedback information transmission by respectively associating the first reference signal and the second reference signal with the second zone identifier and the third zone identifier, thus the spectrum efficiency of sidelink transmission can be improved.
