1. A method performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:
receiving, from a network node, a configuration message comprising an indication of preconfigured radio resources for uplink transmissions;
obtaining a synchronization status of the wireless device with respect to the network node; and
adapting use of the preconfigured radio resources based on the synchronization status of the wireless device with respect to the network node,
wherein adapting use of the preconfigured radio resources based on the synchronization status of the wireless device with respect to the network node comprises, responsive to a determination that the synchronization status is unsynchronized and while maintaining the preconfigured radio resources, performing one or more of: refraining from utilizing the preconfigured radio resources to transmit to the network node; suspending use of the preconfigured radio resources to transmit to the network node; cancelling use of the preconfigured radio resources to transmit to the network node; and delaying utilizing the preconfigured radio resources to transmit to the network node.
