1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
receive, in radio resource control (RRC) signaling or a system information block (SIB) a first priority level associated with sidelink positioning communication;
receive a request to initiate a sidelink positioning session with a second UE for which a sidelink positioning transmission will overlap in a time domain with communication between the first UE and a base station over a Uu access link;
transmit the sidelink positioning transmission if the first priority level of the sidelink positioning transmission is higher than a second priority level of the communication over the Uu access link; and
adjust transmission of the sidelink positioning transmission if the first priority level of the sidelink positioning transmission is not higher than the second priority level of the communication over the Uu access link.
