Location assistance data with line of sight condition for a link between a user equipment and a wireless network node

A network component, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• one or more transceivers;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories and the one or more transceivers, the one or more processors, either alone or in combination, configured to:
• determine a line of sight (LOS) condition associated with a first propagation path between a wireless network node and a user equipment (UE), wherein the first propagation path is associated with an identifier of one or more resources of a reference signal for positioning (RS-P), and wherein the first propagation path is one of a plurality of paths between the wireless network node and the UE and the LOS condition is specifically indicated for the first propagation path;
• and
• transmit, via the one or more transceivers, to the UE, location assistance data to assist the UE to determine a location estimate of the UE, the location assistance data comprising information that indicates the LOS condition associated with the first propagation path,
• wherein the indicated LOS condition indicates a probability or confidence level of the first propagation path being a LOS propagation path.

A network component, comprising:

• means for determining a line of sight (LOS) condition associated with a first propagation path between a wireless network node and a user equipment (UE), wherein the first propagation path is associated with an identifier of one or more resources of a reference signal for positioning (RS-P), and wherein the first propagation path is one of a plurality of paths between the wireless network node and the UE and the LOS condition is specifically indicated for the first propagation path;
• and
• means for transmitting, to the UE, location assistance data to assist the UE to determine a location estimate of the UE, the location assistance data comprising information that indicates the LOS condition associated with the first propagation path,
• wherein the indicated LOS condition indicates a probability or confidence level of the first propagation path being a LOS propagation path.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a network component, cause the network component to:

• determine a line of sight (LOS) condition associated with a first propagation path between a wireless network node and a user equipment (UE), wherein the first propagation path is associated with an identifier of one or more resources of a reference signal for positioning (RS-P), and wherein the first propagation path is one of a plurality of paths between the wireless network node and the UE and the LOS condition is specifically indicated for the first propagation path;
• and
• transmit, to the UE, location assistance data to assist the UE to determine a location estimate of the UE, the location assistance data comprising information that indicates the LOS condition associated with the first propagation path,
• wherein the indicated LOS condition indicates a probability or confidence level of the first propagation path being a LOS propagation path.
