The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method performed by a first terminal in a communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting data of a physical side link shared channel (PSSCH) and sidelink control information (SCI) associated with the data, and receiving, from a second terminal, a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for the data, wherein the HARQ feedback is performed based on a distance between the first terminal and the second terminal, in case that the SCI includes location information of the first terminal.
