Method and device for wireless communication
A first node receives first information and transmits second and third information. The first information indicates a first time window, the second information indicates a second time window, and the third information indicates whether the second time window is synchronous with the first time window. In scenarios involving long-distance communication between a user equipment (UE) and a base station, particularly in non-terrestrial networks (NTN), pre-compensation can be made for a timing advance. When an NTN UE engages in device-to-device (D2D) networking with other UEs, an indication of whether there is pre-compensation for timing advance can serve as a reference for the synchronization reference source selection. With other conditions still unchanged, an NTN-aided D2D UE which has pre-compensated for the timing advance is preferentially selected as a synchronization reference source.
1 . A first node for wireless communications, comprising:
a first receiver configured to receive first information; and
a first transmitter configured to transmit second information and third information, wherein the first information indicates a first time window, the second information indicates a second time window, and the third information indicates whether the second time window is synchronous with the first time window,
wherein when the third information is equal to a first value, the third information indicates that second time window is synchronous with the first time window, and when the third information is equal to a second value different from the first value, the third information indicates that the second time window is asynchronous with the first time window.
2 . The first node according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first transmitter is configured to transmit a first radio signal, and
wherein when the first radio signal is transmitted in a mainlink, the first radio signal is kept in synchronization with the first time window and when the first radio signal is transmitted in a sidelink, the first radio signal is kept in synchronization with the second time window.
3 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first receiver is configured to monitor fourth information, wherein only when the fourth information is detected will the third information be transmitted.
4 . The first node according to claim 3 wherein the first transmitter is configured to transmit a first parameter when the third information indicates that the first time window is asynchronous with the second time window, and wherein the fourth information is used to determine the first parameter.
5 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first time window is explicitly indicated by the first information received by the first receiver.

receiving first information; and
transmitting second information and third information, wherein the first information indicates a first time window, the second information indicates a second time window, and the third information indicates whether the second time window is synchronous with the first time window,
wherein when the third information is equal to a first value, the third information indicates that second time window is synchronous with the first time window, and when the third information is equal to a second value different from the first value, the third information indicates that the second time window is asynchronous with the first time window.
