    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed. In an example from the perspective of a User Equipment (UE), the UE initiates a first Early Data Transmission (EDT) in RRC_INACTIVE state. Responsive to initiating the first EDT, the UE initiates a Random Access (RA) procedure in a cell configured with a normal uplink (NUL) carrier and a supplementary uplink (SUL) carrier. The UE selects the SUL carrier or the NUL carrier for performing the RA procedure based on at least one of whether there are one or more available Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) resources for EDT on the SUL carrier or whether there are one or more available PRACH resources for EDT on the NUL carrier.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed from the perspective of a UE (User Equipment). In one embodiment, the method includes transmitting a Scheduling Request (SR) on a first uplink bandwidth part (BWP). The method further includes receiving a response for the SR on a first downlink BWP. The method also includes detecting a beam failure when using the first uplink BWP and the first downlink BWP. In addition, the method includes transmitting a beam failure recovery (BFR) request to a network node on the first uplink BWP. Furthermore, the method includes receiving a control signalling on a second downlink BWP from the network node after transmitting the BFR request, wherein the control signalling is a response for the BFR request and the second downlink BWP is associated with the first uplink BWP.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed from the perspective of a UE. In one embodiment, the method includes triggering a first SR by a first LCH, wherein the first LCH is associated with a first SR configuration. The method also includes triggering a second SR by a second LCH while the first SR is pending, wherein the second LCH is associated with a second SR configuration, and the first SR configuration and the second SR configuration are configured for the same serving cell. The method further includes using a first SR opportunity and a second SR opportunity to transmit SRs to a network node until the SRs are cancelled, wherein the first SR opportunity corresponds to the first SR configuration and the second SR opportunity corresponds to the second SR configuration.
