1. A network entity, 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, wherein the one or more processors, either alone or in combination, are configured to:
define a first set of configuration information for a source reference signal having a source reference signal bandwidth portion defined by a source reference signal start frequency and a source reference signal bandwidth size of one or more first physical resource blocks, wherein the source reference signal is a downlink reference signal;
define a second set of configuration information for a target reference signal having a target reference signal bandwidth portion defined by a target reference signal start frequency and a target reference signal bandwidth size of one or more second physical resource blocks, wherein the target reference signal is a downlink positioning reference signal; and
transmit, via the one or more transceivers, the first and second sets of configuration information for configuring a user equipment (UE), wherein the first and second sets of configuration information indicate a quasi-co-location (QCL) relationship between the source reference signal and the target reference signal, and wherein the QCL relationship is based on a transmitting transmission-reception point (TRP) and the source reference signal bandwidth portion and the target reference signal bandwidth portion being a same bandwidth portion.
