Method and apparatus for reduction of latency between the time when packets arrive at Layer 1 and the time when resource is selected for transmission are disclosed. One method of the apparatus for latency reduction includes excluding resource from a resource set for packets transmission on SL based on at least one of parameters which are determined according to a latency requirement for the packets, wherein, the parameters comprise a required percentage of the candidate resource in the resource set, maximum power threshold of interference signal, and maximum number of times for increasing power threshold of interference signal.
