Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and device in nodes for wireless communication. A first node receives first information; and receives a first signaling. The first information is used for determining K resource blocks; the K resource blocks respectively correspond to K reference-signal resource groups; any reference-signal resource in the K reference-signal resource groups corresponds to one of M first-type indexes; the first signaling is used for activating a first index in the M first-type indexes; a first resource block is any of the K resource blocks, a first reference-signal resource is used for determining a spatial relation of the first resource block, and the first reference-signal resource is one reference-signal resource corresponding to the first index in a reference-signal resource group corresponding to the first resource block. The above method employs information selected by TRP/panel, thus reducing a signaling overhead and delay of beam management.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating the mitigation of interference in the uplink of a small cell caused by macrocell user equipment in the case where the macrocell cannot identify the interfering macrocell user equipment because the user equipment cannot detect and report the small cell's downlink due to the small cell's uplink/downlink coverage imbalance. In an embodiment, the small cell provides the macrocell with a notification of the interference, the configuration information about its Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH), and a plurality of unique preambles and transmission times for non-contention-based transmissions on the small cell's PRACH. The macrocell orders each of one or a plurality of macrocell user equipment to transmit one of the unique preambles on the small cell's PRACH. The small cell reports to the macrocell the detected preamble transmissions, which allows the macrocell to identify interfering user equipment and perform corrective actions.
