Abstract

The present application discloses a method and a device in a node for wireless communications. A node firstly transmits a first characteristic sequence and a target signal; and monitors a first signaling in a first time window; and when the first signaling is detected, demodulates a first signal; a channel occupied by the first characteristic sequence includes a RA-related channel; the target signal comprises a first identifier, while the first signal comprises the first identifier and a second identifier, and CRC comprised in the first signaling is scrambled by a third identifier; the first signaling indicates the first signal; the target signal is used to trigger the first signal; the first identifier and the second identifier are respectively C-RNTIs, and the third identifier is different from the first identifier. This application optimizes the method and device for physical-layer mobility management under beamforming with an intent of improving positioning performance.
