1. A method for a first device to perform sidelink communication, comprising:
being configured with a resource pool and an exceptional resource pool different from the resource pool;
being configured with network scheduling mode for sidelink by a network node;
being configured with a first set of resources with a first time pattern in the resource pool for sidelink transmission through a dedicated signaling from the network node;
using the first set of resources with the first time pattern in the resource pool to perform sidelink transmission prior to detection of a beam failure by the first device;
detecting the beam failure between the first device and the network node; and
continuing to use the first set of resources with the first time pattern in the resource pool to perform sidelink transmission to a second device after the detection of the beam failure and when the beam failure is not resolved, wherein the first set of resources with the first time pattern is usable or available to perform sidelink transmission without receiving an activation signaling from the network node, and wherein the first device stops using the first set of resources with the first time pattern in the resource pool to perform sidelink transmission to the second device when the first device receives a RRC (Radio Resource Control) reconfiguration message from the network node after the beam failure is resolved.
