1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) comprising:
one or more transceivers;
one or more memories; and
one or more processors electronically coupled with the one or more memories and the one or more transceivers, the one or more processors configured to cause the apparatus to:
establish a connection with a serving cell;
receive a control message comprising configuration information for an uplink reference signal associated with a positioning procedure to identify a geographic location of the UE, wherein a first parameter associated with a transmit power for the uplink reference signal is excluded from the configuration information received in the control message, wherein the exclusion of the first parameter comprises the configuration information in the received control message excluding an indication of a downlink reference signal for estimating a path loss between the UE and the serving cell and also excluding an indication of a downlink reference signal for estimating a path loss between the UE and a cell other than the serving cell, and wherein the exclusion of the first parameter from the configuration information is associated with a determination procedure that is associated with a cell other than the serving cell;
receive a message from the cell other than the serving cell;
determine, as part of the determination procedure, a first value of the first parameter based at least in part on the message from the cell other than the serving cell and based at least in part on the exclusion of the first parameter from the configuration information received in the control message;
determine the transmit power for the uplink reference signal based at least in part on the first value of the first parameter; and
transmit, via the one or more transceivers and during the positioning procedure, the uplink reference signal according to the transmit power.
