Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed. In an example from the perspective of a User Equipment (UE), if sidelink packet duplication is configured or enabled for a Sidelink Radio Bearer (SLRB), a first Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) Protocol Data Unit (PDU), corresponding to a first PDCP Service Data Unit (SDU), and a duplicate of the first PDCP PDU, are transmitted. A first PDCP Sequence Number (SN) of the first PDCP PDU is set based upon one or more state variables used for sidelink transmission on the SLRB. If the sidelink packet duplication is de-configured or disabled for the SLRB, a second PDCP PDU, corresponding to a second PDCP SDU, is transmitted. Noduplicate of the second PDCP PDU is transmitted. A second PDCP SN of the second PDCP PDU is set based upon the one or more state variables used for sidelink transmission on the SLRB.

A first PC5-S message is transmitted on the first sidelink SRB with a Source Layer-2 ID derived from a Layer-2 ID of the first UE and a Destination Layer-2 ID derived from the default Destination Layer-2 ID. A second PC5-S message is received from a second UE. The second PC5-S message is transmitted with a Source Layer-2 ID derived from a Layer-2 ID of the second UE and a Destination Layer-2 ID derived from the Layer-2 ID of the first UE. A second sidelink SRB for PC5-S message reception and/or transmission is established. The second sidelink SRB is associated with the Layer-2 ID of the second UE.

Abstract: A method and device are disclosed for a relay User Equipment (UE). In one embodiment, the relay UE establishes a first layer-2 link with a first remote UE. The relay UE also establishes a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session with a network, wherein the relay UE forwards traffic of the first remote UE on the PDU session. The relay UE further establishes a second layer-2 link with a second remote UE. In addition, the relay UE forwards traffic of the second remote UE on the PDU session. Furthermore, the relay UE receives a network control signaling from the network, wherein the network control signaling is associated with the first remote UE and is used for modifying the PDU session. The relay UE also initiates a layer-2 link modification procedure toward the first remote UE in response to reception of the network control signaling.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed from the perspective of a first UE (User Equipment) to support multiple services on a one-to-one sidelink communication link between the first UE and a second UE. In one embodiment, the first UE initiates a first service. The first UE also establishes the one-to-one sidelink communication link for the first service. Furthermore, the first UE negotiates a security configuration with the second UE for encrypting or decrypting data from the first service. In addition, the first UE initiates a second service. The first UE also encrypts or decrypts data from the second service with the security configuration used by the first service.

Abstract: A method and device are disclosed from the perspective of a first UE. The first UE initiates a first procedure of establishing the one-to-one connection with the second UE for a unicast communication between the first UE and the second UE or for a UE-to-UE communication between the first UE and a third UE via the second UE or a second procedure of establishing the one-to-one connection with the second UE for a UE-to-Network communication between the first UE and a network node via the second UE. The first UE transmits a first PC5-S message to the second UE for completing establishment of a first security context in the first procedure of establishing the one-to-one connection with the second UE for the unicast communication or the UE-to-UE communication if the first procedure is initiated, wherein the first PC5-S message includes QoS information for the unicast communication or the UE-to-UE communication.

In one embodiment, the method includes the UE applying a sidelink DRX configuration for the sidelink groupcast communication associated with the group, wherein the sidelink DRX configuration comprises at least one of an on-duration timer length used for determining an on-duration for each sidelink DRX cycle and/or a cycle length used for determining a length of each sidelink DRX cycle. The method further includes the UE deriving or determining a time to start of on-duration for each sidelink DRX cycle or start of each sidelink DRX cycle based on at least an identifier associated with the group. The method also includes the UE monitoring a sidelink control channel, associated with the group, based on the sidelink DRX configuration and the time to start of on-duration for each sidelink DRX cycle or start of each sidelink DRX cycle.

Abstract: A method and device are disclosed for a User Equipment (UE) to sidelink discontinuous reception (DRX) for sidelink groupcast communication associated with a group. In one embodiment, the method includes the UE assuming or considering a sidelink DRX configuration applied for the sidelink groupcast communication associated with the group, wherein the sidelink DRX configuration comprises at least one of an on-duration timer length used for determining an on-duration at the beginning of each sidelink DRX cycle and/or a cycle length used for determining a length of each sidelink DRX cycle. The method also includes the UE deriving or determining a time to start of on-duration for each sidelink DRX cycle or start of each sidelink DRX cycle based on at least an identifier associated with the group. The method further includes the UE transmitting a sidelink control information associated with the group on a sidelink control channel in a period, wherein the period is determined based on the SL DRX configuration and the time to start of on-duration for each sidelink DRX cycle or start of each sidelink DRX cycle.
