1. A method of configuring a receiving user equipment (UE) for multi-anchor sidelink quasi-colocation (mSL-QCL) information, the method comprising:
determining, at a base device, a quasi-colocation (QCL) relation between a first wireless reference signal transmitted by a first sidelink (SL) anchor and a second wireless reference signal transmitted by a second SL anchor, wherein:
the first SL anchor and the second SL anchor comprise UEs separate from the receiving UE, and
the first wireless reference signal and the second wireless reference signal are transmitted for positioning of the receiving UE, performing radio frequency (RF) sensing, or both; and
wirelessly sending, from the base device to the receiving UE, the mSL-QCL information associated with the first SL anchor and the second SL anchor, wherein the mSL-QCL information is indicative of the QCL relation between the first wireless reference signal transmitted by the first SL anchor and the second wireless reference signal transmitted by the second SL anchor.
