transmitting a response message including a time difference value;

receiving sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS) and physical broadcast channel (PBCH) based on the at least one or more SSBs;

receiving control information based on a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH); and

receiving data based on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH),

wherein the time difference value is calculated based on the selected SSB,

wherein the selected SSB is an SSB with a high priority based on a synchronization source,

wherein transmission timing of the response message is determined based on the time difference value and a number of received SSBs,
