1. A method for performing logical channel prioritization (LCP) by a wireless device, the method comprising:

receiving, from a network node, a scheduling grant comprising a transmission profile index, wherein the transmission profile index uniquely identifies a transmission profile to be used and a value of the transmission profile index indicates a priority associated with the transmission profile, and wherein the transmission profile comprises at least the following:

one or more prioritization parameters; and

one or more transmission parameters;

selecting a set of logical channels based on the one or more prioritization parameters and the one or more transmission parameters in the transmission profile; and

determining at least one logical channel of the set of logical channels to serve.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the at least one logical channel of the set of logical channels to serve comprises:

prioritizing the at least one logical channel of the set of logical channels over at least one logical channel not included in the set of logical channels.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the transmission profile comprises a list of logical channel identifiers, each of the logical channel identifiers uniquely identifying a particular one of the set of logical channels; and

determining the at least one logical channel of the set of logical channels to serve comprises:

determining that a logical channel identifier associated with the at least one logical channel is included in the list of logical channel identifiers in the transmission profile.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission profile comprises:

a channel-specific priority for each logical channel in the set of logical channels; and

a prioritized bit rate for each logical channel in the set of logical channels.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission profile identifies a duration for the at least one logical channel of the set of logical channels to be served by the wireless device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission profile identifies a subcarrier spacing for the at least one logical channel of the set of logical channels to be served by the wireless device.
