Abstract

The present disclosure disclosed a method and a device used in a communication node for wireless communications. A communication node receives a first signaling; when the first cell is in a first state, as a response to the first condition being fulfilled, the node applies a first sub-configuration to the first target cell and transmits a second signaling, and does not transmit a first message on the first target cell; when the first cell is in a second state, as a response to the first condition being fulfilled, the node applies the first configuration to the first target cell and starts a first timer, and transmits a second signaling, transmits a first message on the first target cell, and receives a second message, and, as a response to receiving the second message, stops the first timer; the first signaling comprises an RRC reconfiguration message.
