Abstract

The present disclosure provides method and device in nodes used for wireless communication. A node transmits a first HARQ feedback, the first HARQ feedback being used to indicate either an ACK or a NACK; receives a first PDCCH, the first PDCCH being used to determine scheduling information for a first PDSCH; and determines whether a target condition is fulfilled, and, when the target condition is fulfilled, transmits a second HARQ feedback, the second HARQ feedback being only used to indicate a NACK; the first PDSCH is used for a retransmission of a first bit block; the first HARQ feedback is used for the first bit block, the first HARQ feedback being used to determine the target condition. The present disclosure improves the HARQ retransmission resource utilization ratio.
