Technologies for uplink gap triggering and operation

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry to:

• process an uplink (UL) gap preference report received from a user equipment (UE), wherein the UL gap preference report includes an indication of a gap periodicity and a gap length that are preferred for a UL gap configuration in frequency range 2 (FR2);
• generate information based on the UL gap preference report, the information to be transmitted to the UE to configure one or more UL gap configurations;
• process a request to activate a UL gap configuration of the one or more UL gap configurations;
• and
• generate, based on the request, an activation command, to be transmitted to the UE, to activate the UL gap configuration of the one or more UL gap configurations.

An apparatus comprising:

• processing circuitry to:
• generate an uplink (UL) gap preference report to be transmitted to a base station, wherein the UL gap preference report includes an indication of a gap periodicity and a gap length that are preferred for a UL gap configuration associated with a frequency range 2 (FR2) UL gap;
• generate a UL gap capability report to indicate a capability to perform body proximity sensing (BPS) within the FR2 UL gap;
• and
• activate the UL gap configuration based on an activation command received from a network;
• and
• perform a BPS operation in accordance with the UL gap configuration;
• and
• interface circuitry coupled with the processing circuitry to enable communication.
