Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. in an aspect, a user equipment (ue) engages in a positioning session or a sensing session and receives, from a network entity, assistance data for at least one positioning reference signal (prs) resource transmitted by a transmission point, the assistance data including a prs resource location field indicating a geographic location of the transmission point, the assistance data further including reflection point object (rpo) information for at least one rpo that is capable of reflecting a waveform associated with the at least one prs resource, the rpo information including at least location information for the at least one rpo.
