1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

memory;

at least one processor coupled to the memory;

one or more application processors; and

at least two hardware channels between the at least one processor and the one or more application processors, wherein each hardware channel is associated with a different priority, and wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to:

receive, from the one or more application processors, requests for determining a priority treatment of one or more packet filters of one or more uplink transmissions;

map the one or more uplink transmissions to corresponding uplink channels of radio bearers based on priorities of the one or more uplink transmissions and based on channel properties of the corresponding uplink channels, wherein the priorities of the one or more uplink transmissions are based at least on a quality of service (QOS) filter identity (QFI) associated with a flow priority and a traffic type associated with priorities of the radio bearers; and

transmit the one or more uplink transmissions from the one or more application processors to the at least one processor via one or more corresponding hardware channels of the at least two hardware channels, wherein the one or more of the corresponding hardware channels are determined based on the priorities of the one or more uplink transmissions, and wherein the one or more uplink transmissions are transmitted from the at least one processor to a base station.
