Abstract
A method and device are disclosed from the perspective of a second UE. The second UE initiates a first procedure of establishing the one-to-one connection with the first UE for a unicast communication between the first UE and the second UE or for a UE-to-UE communication between the first UE and a third UE via the second UE or a second procedure of establishing the one-to-one connection with the first UE for a UE-to-Network communication between the first UE and a network node via the second UE. The second UE transmits a first PC5-S message to the first UE for completing the first procedure of establishing the one-to-one connection with the first UE for the unicast communication or the UE-to-UE communication if the first procedure is initiated, wherein the first PC5-S message includes QoS information for the unicast communication or the UE-to-UE communication.
