Abstract

Present application provides a method and device in a node for wireless communications. A first node receives a first signaling; executes channel sensing in a first resource pool; and transmits a third signaling; any first-type time-frequency resource block in the first resource pool occupies L frequency-domain resource unit(s) in frequency domain; the first signaling indicates L and a first priority; a first time-frequency resource block has an overlapping with time-frequency resources occupied by a first reference signal; the first priority and the second priority are used together to determine a first threshold; a measurement performed on the first reference signal and the first threshold are used together to determine whether a second time-frequency resource block belongs to a first candidate resource pool, and the second time-frequency resource block is associated with the first time-frequency resource block. The present application effectively implements inter-user coordination, which avoids continuous interference between users.
