  • Publication number: 20250067835
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods, apparatuses, and systems that support angle-based positioning. For instance, an angular search window and associated uncertainty for positioning (e.g., sidelink positioning) can be determined based on an approximate position and/or range of a target-UE. Further, reporting of per path measurements is provided to in multipath environments. Implementations are also provided for triggering, configuring, and reporting angle information including angle of arrival (AoA) and/or angle of departure (AoD) (e.g., sidelink AoA and/or sidelink AoD) in terms of a Global Coordinate System (GCS) and a Local Coordinate System (LCS).
