1. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled with the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to cause the apparatus to:
identify a sidelink priority value of sidelink traffic to be transmitted via a sidelink channel;
identify a type of uplink traffic to be transmitted via an uplink channel, the uplink traffic is scheduled to be transmitted contemporaneously with the sidelink traffic, the sidelink priority value indicating a higher priority for the sidelink traffic than for the uplink traffic;
prioritize, based at least in part on the identification of the type of uplink traffic being of a first type uplink traffic, the uplink traffic regardless of the sidelink priority value, wherein the first type includes random access channel (RACH) uplink communications;
prioritize, based at least in part on the identification of the type of uplink traffic not being RACH uplink communications and where the sidelink priority value is less than a sidelink threshold priority value, the sidelink traffic where an uplink priority value is equal to one, indicating that the uplink traffic includes ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) uplink traffic; and
transmit, based on prioritizing the sidelink traffic or prioritizing the uplink traffic, at least one of the sidelink traffic or the uplink traffic.
