Abstract

A method and apparatus are disclosed from the perspective of a first device for performing sidelink communication. In one embodiment, the first device includes a MAC CE in a MAC PDU, wherein if the MAC PDU comprises the MAC CE without data, SL HARQ feedback is disabled for the MAC PDU. The first device further includes sidelink data associated with a first sidelink logical channel in the MAC PDU, wherein the first sidelink logical channel is configured to enable sidelink HARQ feedback. The first device also sets or indicates enable SL HARQ feedback for the MAC PDU in a SCI, wherein the SCI schedules a sidelink transmission delivering the MAC PDU. Furthermore, the first device transmits the SCI and performs the sidelink transmission to a second device.
