Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method and a device in a User Equipment (UE) and a base station used for wireless communication. The UE first receives a first signaling and a second radio signal, and then transmitting a first radio signal on a sidelink. The first signaling is correlated to a first synchronization sequence. The first signaling is used for determining at least one of {first signature sequence, second synchronization sequence}. The first signature sequence is used for generating the first radio signal. The receiving timing of the second radio signal is used for determining the transmitting timing of the first radio signal. The second radio signal is associated with the second synchronization sequence. The first synchronization sequence differs from the second synchronization sequence. The first operation is transmitting, or the first operation is receiving. According to the present disclosure, both system performance and transmission efficiency are improved.
