Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a first wireless node transmits beam ridge information to a position estimation entity. The beam ridge information is associated with at least one reference signal for positioning (RS-P), and includes transmit (Tx) beam ridge information that is based on an Azimuth angle associated with a highest beam gain for a first RS-P as transmitted to a second wireless node over a set of Tx beams at each of a plurality of boresight elevation angles, or receive (Rx) beam ridge information that is based on a boresight elevation angle associated with a highest beam gain for a second RS-P as received from the second wireless node over a set of Rx beams at each of a plurality of Azimuth angles. The position estimation entity determines a position estimate of a user equipment (UE) based on the beam ridge information.

A system and method for an indoor position localization of a target device is provided. A network comprising a server and a plurality of anchors is configured to fuse two radio technologies to estimate a location of the target device within an indoor facility. The method includes obtaining, via a first radio technology, a first candidate location of a target device. The method also includes obtaining, via a second radio technology, a plurality of second candidate locations of the target device. The method further includes selecting one of the second candidate locations as an estimated position of the target device based on a proximity of each of the second candidate locations to the first candidate location.

Disclosed are techniques related to wireless communications. In an aspect, a network entity determines whether a source reference signal transmitted from a first transmission-reception point (TRP) is a quasi-collocation (QCL) source of a target reference signal transmitted from a second TRP based, at least in part, on a first bandwidth (BW) portion occupied by the source reference signal and a second BW portion occupied by the target reference signal, the first BW portion having a first start frequency and a first BW size and the second BW portion having a second start frequency and a second BW size, and configures a user equipment (UE) with the source reference signal as the QCL source of the target reference signal when it is so determined.
