1. A method performed by a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a base station (BS), a sidelink UE information message including quality of service (QOS) information for a sidelink (SL) communication;
obtaining sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) configuration information;
transmitting, to a second UE via a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, an SLRB configuration for the SL communication; and
performing the SL communication with the second UE based on the SLRB configuration information,
wherein the QoS information for the SL communication includes a 5G QOS identifier (5QI) value and range information indicating a minimum communication range, and
wherein the SLRB configuration information includes information on a discard timer and information on a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP)-sequence number (SN)-size.
