Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for determining a current status of cellular vehicle to everything (CV2X) traffic and then allocating application processor resources for a CV2X call based on the current status of the CV2X traffic. The allocating may include reserving the application processor resources for the CV2X call when the CV2X traffic is active and releasing the reserved application processor resources when there is no CV2X traffic.
