The claims in the instant application are different than those of the parent application or other related applications. The Applicant therefore rescinds any disclaimer of claim scope made in the parent application or any predecessor application in relation to the instant application. The Examiner is therefore advised that any such previous disclaimer and the cited references that it was made to avoid, may need to be revisited. Further, any disclaimer made in the instant application should not be read into or against the parent application or other related applications. FIELD The present application relates to wireless communications, and more particularly to systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing transmission of messages in a wireless communication system. DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART Wireless communication systems are rapidly growing in usage. In recent years, wireless devices such as smart phones and tablet computers have become increasingly sophisticated. In addition to supporting telephone calls, many mobile devices (i.e., user equipment devices or UEs) now provide access to the internet, email, text messaging, and navigation using the global positioning system (GPS), and are capable of operating sophisticated applications that utilize these functionalities. Additionally, there exist numerous different wireless communication technologies and standards. Some examples of wireless communication standards include GSM, UMTS (associated with, for example, WCDMA or TD-SCDMA air interfaces), LTE, LTE Advanced (LTE-A), NR, HSPA, 3GPP2 CDMA2000 (e.g., 1×RTT, 1×EV-DO, HRPD, eHRPD), IEEE 802.11 (WLAN or Wi-Fi), BLUETOOTH™, etc. The ever-increasing number of features and functionality introduced in wireless communication devices also creates a continuous need for improvement in both wireless communications and in wireless communication devices. In particular, it is important to ensure the accuracy of transmitted and received signals through user equipment (UE) devices, e.g., through wireless devices such as cellular phones, base stations and relay stations used in wireless cellular communications. In addition, increasing the functionality of a UE device can place a significant strain on the battery life of the UE device. Thus, it is very important to also reduce power requirements in UE device designs while allowing the UE device to maintain good transmit and receive abilities for improved communications. Accordingly, improvements in the field are desired. SUMMARY Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing transmission of messages in a wireless communication system. In some embodiments, a user equipment (UE) device may wirelessly transmit a first message and determine that the UE device has not received a positive acknowledgement of the first message by a first time. In response to the determination that the UE device has not received the positive acknowledgement of the first message by the first time, the UE may calculate a recommended message length, provide a notification via one or more user interface based on the recommended message length, and select a prioritized message. The UE may wirelessly transmit the prioritized message. In some embodiments, a user equipment (UE) device may receive, via one or more user interface, a first message, wirelessly transmit the first message, and determine that the UE device has not received a positive acknowledgement of the first message by a first time. In response to the determination that the UE device has not received the positive acknowledgement of the first message by the first time, the UE device may provide a notification via one or more user interface recommending to prioritize a shorter message and may receive, via the one or more user interface, an indication of a prioritized message, e.g., in response to the notification. The UE device may wirelessly transmit the prioritized message. In some embodiments, a user equipment (UE) device may determine a channel condition for a wireless channel and determine, based on the channel condition, a recommended message length. The UE device may indicate, via a user interface, a notification based on the recommended message length. The UE device may receive, via the user interface, an indication of a prioritized message subsequent to indicating the notification, and transmit the prioritized message in response to the indication. Note that the techniques described herein may be implemented in and/or used with a number of different types of devices, including but not limited to base stations, access points, cellular phones, portable media players, tablet computers, wearable devices, unmanned aeria
