Abstract

The present application discloses a method and device for wireless communications, comprising transmitting a first message on sidelink, and the first message is used to trigger a first signal; transmitting a second message, the second message comprises first location information, the first location information is based on a measurement performed on the first signal; monitoring an SCI in an active time of sidelink DRX; receiving the first signal through sidelink; herein, the active time of the sidelink DRX comprises a first time resource, and the first time resource depends on a transmission time of the first message. The present application can better support the positioning function on sidelink by transmitting a first message and receiving a first signal.
