16. A wireless device, comprising:
a receiver;
a transmitter; and
processing circuitry coupled to the receiver and the transmitter, the processing circuitry configured to:
receive, via the receiver, an uplink grant from a network node, the uplink grant scheduling one or more uplink transmissions by the wireless device;
select an ON/OFF time mask to use for transmitting the one or more uplink transmissions; and
determine, based on the received uplink grant, an allowed placement of a transient period of the selected ON/OFF time mask and a duration of the transient period to use for the one or more uplink transmissions, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to determine the allowed placement and the duration of the transient period based at least on a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) to be used for the one or more uplink transmissions.
