Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed from the perspective of a User Equipment (UE) for the UE to request sidelink resources for an one-to-one V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) sidelink communication, wherein the UE supports both LTE (Long Term Evolution) RAT (Radio Access Technology) and NR (New Radio) RAT. In one embodiment, the method includes the UE initiating a one-to-one V2X sidelink communication. The method further includes the UE transmitting a RRC (Radio Resource Control) message to a network node to request sidelink resources from NR RAT for the one-to-one V2X sidelink communication and not transmitting any RRC message to the network node to request sidelink resources from LTE RAT for the one-to-one V2X sidelink communication.
