1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from an originating UE, a peer-to-peer (P2P) communication that includes an indication of whether the P2P communication is to be relayed from the UE to a subsequent UE;
determining whether to relay the P2P communication to the subsequent UE based at least in part on the indication and at least one of:
a location of the UE, or
a UE identifier, included in the P2P communication, that identifies the UE and is associated with a request for the UE to relay the P2P communication; and
selectively relaying the P2P communication, based at least in part on a determination to relay the P2P communication, according to a relaying priority associated with the P2P communication, wherein the relaying priority is determined based at least in part on a speed at which the originating UE is moving and the relaying priority determines an order in which different P2P communications are to be relayed.
