1. A first user equipment (UE) in a communication system, the first UE comprising:
a processor configured to:
decode a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), wherein the PSCCH includes a resource reservation period (Prsvp) field in units of milliseconds (ms), and
convert Prsvp into P′rsvp in logical slots as:

OG Complex Work Unit Math
wherein:
L is a value related to a number of slots that belongs to a resource pool,
L is defined based on a number of slots corresponding to bits having value 1 within a bitmap, among a set of slots excluding at least one non-SL slot, at least one non S-SSB slot, and at least one reserved slot,

OG Complex Work Unit Math
T is a period in units of ms,
μ: is a sub-carrier spacing configuration,
NnonSL: is a number of non-SL slots,
NS-SSB: is a number of S-SSB slots,
Nreserved: is a number of reserved slots,
Nbitmap,one: is a number of bits having value 1 in the bitmap associated with the resource pool, and
Lbitmap: is a total number of bits in the bitmap associated with the resource pool.
