1. A method for determining a location of a mobile device, comprising:
transmitting array gain information to a network entity, the array gain information including beam pattern information based at least in part on a sub-band and a state of the mobile device;
receiving one or more reference signals in one or more sub-bands, wherein a receive beam for each of the one or more reference signals is based at least in part on the sub-band the one or more reference signals are being received in, and on a current state of the mobile device;
determining measurement values based on the one or more reference signals; and
determining the location of the mobile device based at least in part on the measurement values, wherein the state of the mobile device is based at least in part on proximity of a user to the mobile device, or a peripheral device that is operably coupled to the mobile device, or a combination thereof.
