1. A method for communication, performed by a UE (user equipment), comprising:
performing sidelink communication;
performing Uu link communication with a base station;
performing BWP (bandwidth part) switching between the sidelink communication and the Uu link communication,
wherein the BWP switching is operated based on the sidelink communication and the Uu link communication being operated in a same carrier for TDM (Time Division Multiplexing), and
wherein the UE skips performing the sidelink communication during a delay by the BWP switching; and
receiving information on BWP switching timing from the base station;
wherein the BWP switching is operated based on the information on BWP switching timing,
wherein the information on BWP switching timing includes information on time point when the UE should start the BWP switching, the time point is after the information on BWP switching timing is received, and
wherein the information on BWP switching timing includes i) first information on when the UE should start switching to BWP for sidelink and ii) second information on when the UE should start switching to the BWP for the Uu link with the base station.
