Original Abstract Submitted

In an aspect, a method performed by a network node includes obtaining a plurality of radio frequency fingerprint positioning (RFFP) measurements associated with known positioning parameters associated with a known location of a user equipment (UE), wherein each RFFP measurement of the plurality of RFFP measurements is further associated with a transmission point configuration of a plurality of transmission point configurations; and training a positioning model to provide an estimate of one or more positioning parameters associated with a location of the UE, wherein the training of the positioning model is based on the plurality of RFFP measurements, known positioning parameters associated with the known location, and the plurality of transmission point configurations.
