Original Abstract Submitted
this disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support backscatter-based positioning. in a first aspect, a method of wireless communication includes receiving, from a first transmission/receiving point (trp), a first measurement report associated with a positioning session for a tag device. the method further includes receiving, from a second trp, a second measurement report. the method also includes determining a position of the tag device based on the first measurement report, the second measurement report, and line of sight information associated with a line of sight between the first trp and the second trp. other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
