Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and a device in a node for wireless communications. The first node receives a first reference-signal-resource set; selects a first signature feature out of a candidate sequence group in a first period, transmits a first signature sequence on a first time-frequency resource block; when the first signature sequence is associated with a shared channel resource unit in the first period, monitors a second signal in the second time window; and when the first signature sequence is not associated with any shared channel resource unit in the first period, monitors a second signal in a second time window; measuring at the first reference-signal-resource set is used for determining a first channel quality; the first signature sequence is a candidate sequence in the candidate sequence group in the first period. The present disclosure ensures access delay demands of 2-step random access procedure.
