A method of operating a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system includes receiving information related to a sidelink bandwidth part (BWP) by the first UE, establishing a plurality of unicast links by the first UE, transmitting a sidelink signal in the sidelink BWP on a first unicast link among the plurality of unicast link, and releasing a second unicast link for which radio link failure (RLF) has been declared among the plurality of unicast links, based on the RLF and a PC5 link identifier (ID) by the first UE. The PC5 link ID is used to identify the second unicast link for which the RLF has been declared among the plurality of unicast links.
