Abstract

Disclosed in the present application are a method and device used in a node for wireless communication. A node receives a first information block; the node receives a first PDCCH, a DCI format used by the first PDCCH at least comprising a first domain; the node sends a first PUSCH, a waveform used by the first PUSCH being a target waveform, and the target waveform being one of DFT-s-OFDM and CP-OFDM; wherein the first domain is a domain related to a waveform, and whether the DCI format used by the first PDCCH comprises a second domain depends on a second information block; when the DCI format used by the first PDCCH comprises the second domain, the second domain comprised in the DCI format used by the first PDCCH is used for determining the target waveform from the DFT-s-OFDM and the CP-OFDM; and when the DCI format used by the first PDCCH does not comprise the second domain, at least the first information block among the first information block and the second information block is used for determining the target waveform from the DFT-s-OFDM and the CP-OFDM. The present application enhances the coverage performance.
