1. An operation method of a first terminal in a communication system, the operation method comprising:
generating sidelink control information (SCI) including a sidelink (SL) bandwidth part (BWP) indicator;
transmitting the SCI to a second terminal in a first SL BWP;
performing a SL switching operation from the first SL BWP to a second SL BWP indicated by the SL BWP indicator included in the SCI; and
performing sidelink transmission with the second terminal in the second SL BWP,
wherein the SCI further includes a slot offset, and the slot offset is an offset between a slot in which the SCI is transmitted and a slot in which the sidelink transmission associated with the SCI is performed,
wherein when a first numerology of the first SL BWP is different from a second numerology of the second SL BWP, the slot offset is configured based on the first numerology or the second numerology.
