1. A method for a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

  • receiving, by a radio resource control (RRC) layer of the UE, control information comprising a first factor and a second factor from a network;

    deciding, by a switching layer of the UE, whether to transmit data or not based on the first factor, wherein the switching layer is located between an application layer and a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer; and

    when the switching layer of the UE decides to transmit the data based on the first factor;

    determining, by the switching layer, one of an uplink (UL) or a sidelink (SL) as a transmission direction based on the second factor;

    transmitting the data and information informing that the data is a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) message related to road safety to other UEs on the SL, if the SL is determined as the transmission direction; and

    transmitting the data and information informing that the data is the V2X message related to the road safety to the network on the UL, if the UL is determined as the transmission direction,wherein the UE is a vehicle, andwherein the second factor is determined based on a type of the data.
