Abstract

The disclosure provides a method and a device in a node for wireless communication. A first node performs a first listening in a first subband; when the first listening indicates that a channel is busy, the first node determines to give up a radio transmission on a first channel, starts a first timer and updates a first counter by 1; when any one of Q timers expires, the first node resets the first counter to an initial value; and when the first counter reaches or exceeds a target threshold, the first node transmits a first signal. The first channel belongs to the first subband in frequency domain, the first listening is correlated to a first index, and the first index is any one of Q indexes; the Q indexes are one-to-one corresponding to the Q timers respectively.
