20 Claims

1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive, from a base station (BS), configuration information about multiple sidelink (SL) carriers for a SL carrier aggregation (CA) operation; and

a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to:

determine whether a SL radio link failure (RLF) is detected for a SL carrier among the multiple SL carriers, and

start a timer for the SL carrier based on a determination that the SL RLF is detected, wherein an activation or a deactivation of the SL carrier is determined based on a status of the timer.
