A method and apparatus such as a device to perform sidelink communication including receiving a sidelink grant from a network node, wherein the sidelink grant schedules or assigns multiple sidelink resources, generating a data packet comprising or multiplexing sidelink data from Sidelink (SL) logical channel(s) with SL Hybrid Automatic Request (HARQ) feedback enabled, performing two sidelink transmissions for the data packet on two adjacent, neighbor, or consecutive sidelink resources among the multiple sidelink resources if a time gap of the two adjacent, neighbor, or consecutive sidelink resources is larger than or equal to a minimum time gap, and the device being allowed to drop, skip, or cancel a sidelink transmission on one sidelink resource of the two adjacent, neighbor, or consecutive sidelink resources among the multiple sidelink resources if the time gap of the two adjacent, neighbor, or consecutive sidelink resources is less than a minimum time gap.
