1. A method for a User Equipment (UE) for performing a Configured Grant (CG)-based Small Data Transmission (CG-SDT), the method comprising:
receiving a CG-SDT-specific Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) threshold from a Base Station (BS), the CG-SDT-specific RSRP threshold being configured to the UE for a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) selection for the CG-SDT;
in a case that one or more SSBs with RSRPs above the CG-SDT-specific RSRP threshold are available, performing the SSB selection to determine a first SSB index from one or more SSB indices of the one or more SSBs; and
performing an initial transmission of the CG-SDT or a subsequent new transmission of the CG-SDT through a first Uplink (UL) grant corresponding to the first SSB index.
