Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method and a device in nodes used for wireless communications. A first node first receives a first radio signal and a second radio signal; and then determines that transmitting power of first control information in a first time window is a first power value and transmitting power of second control information in a second time window is a second power value; and transmits the first control information in the first time window with the first power value; the first power value is unrelated to the second power value, and the second power value is relevant to whether the first time window overlaps with the second time window. The present disclosure designs power allocation priorities of first control information and second control information to optimize both transmission performance and efficiency of a feedback channel in sidelink.
