Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and device used in a communication node for wireless communications. a first receiver, generates first information, and the first information indicates a buffer state of a first serving cell group; and a first transmitter, when the first serving cell group is in an active state, transmits the first information through the first serving cell group; and when the first serving cell group is in an inactive state, transmits the first information through the second serving cell group; wherein the first serving cell group and the second serving cell group are respectively an SCG and an MCG. The present application activates a first cell group by timely transmitting buffer status by an MCG in active state, thereby reducing the delay for data transmission on a first cell group.

a first transmitter, when the first serving cell group is in an active state, transmits the first information through the first serving cell group; and when the first serving cell group is in an inactive state, transmits the first information through the second serving cell group;

wherein the first serving cell group and the second serving cell group are respectively an SCG and an MCG.

2 . The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first receiver, monitoring a first signaling on the second serving cell group; when the first signaling is detected, starting to monitor a control signaling of the first serving cell group;

wherein, the first serving cell group is in an inactive state; and the first information is used to trigger the first signaling.

3 . The first node according to claim 2 , comprising:

the first transmitter, when the first signaling is not detected in a first time window, transmitting a second SR in the first serving cell group; and

the first receiver, receiving a second signaling on the first serving cell group, the second signaling indicating configuration information of a second channel;

the first transmitter, transmitting the first information on the second channel;

wherein, a start position of the first time window depends on time-domain resources occupied by the first information; and the first information is used to trigger the second SR.

4 . The first node according to claim 3 , wherein, the second SR comprises a preamble. The first node according to claim 2 , wherein, a length of the first time window is indicated by a fifth signaling, and the fifth signaling indicates that the first serving cell group is deactivated.

6 . The first node according to claim 2 , wherein, when the first signaling is detected, the first serving cell group is in an inactive state.

7 . The first node according to claim 2 , wherein, the first signaling is used to activate the first serving cell group.

8 . The first node according to claim 2 , wherein, the fifth signaling comprises a MAC CE.

9 . The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first transmitter, transmitting a first SR on the second serving cell group; and

the first receiver, receiving a third signaling on the second serving cell group, the third signaling indicating configuration information of a first channel;

wherein, the first serving cell group is in an inactive state; the first information is used to trigger the first SR; the first information is transmitted on the first channel; radio resources occupied by the first SR are used to determine whether a buffer state indicated by the first information is for the first serving cell group or the second serving cell group.

10 . The first node according to claim 1 , the first information comprises a first logical channel group identity and a first buffer size, and the first buffer size indicates a size of data available to a logical channel group identified by the first logical channel group identity; the first logical channel group identity is allocated to the first serving cell group.

11 . A method in a first node for wireless communications, comprising:

generates first information, and the first information indicates a buffer state of a first serving cell group; and
