Abstract

Method and device in a node for wireless communications. A first receiver receives first information and a first signaling, the first signaling is used to indicate N resource pools, N being a positive integer greater than 1, the first information is used to determine a type of at least one of the N resource pools, the type of any of the N resource pools is one of a first type and a second type, a number of resource pool(s) of the first type among the N resource pools is a first number, the first number being a positive integer; when the first number is less than N, receives a bit block in each resource pool of the second type among the N resource pools; a first transmitter transmits a target bit, a value of the target bit is equal to a target binary value acquired after logical.
