1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
identifying a set of positioning sources, each positioning source comprising a positioning reference signal (PRS) resource, a PRS resource set, a PRS frequency layer, a transmission/reception point (TRP), or a combination thereof;
identifying, from the set of positioning sources, positioning sources that form a consistency group, the consistency group comprising a collection of positioning sources grouped based on an expected value of at least one metric of a reference signal from each positioning source, a measured value of the at least one metric for the reference signal from each positioning source, and an error threshold;
identifying one or more subsets of positioning sources within the consistency group, each subset having at least one metric error value; and
reporting, to a network entity, information about the consistency group and information about at least one of the subsets of positioning sources within the consistency group,
wherein reporting information about at least one of the subsets of positioning sources within the consistency group comprises identifying the positioning sources included in each subset, and
wherein reporting information about at least one of the subsets of positioning sources within the consistency group comprises reporting an error associated with each subset, reporting an error for each positioning source included in the subset, reporting the error for each positioning source with respect to the error threshold, reporting the error with respect to a consensus value produced by the subset, reporting subsets having an error that satisfies a threshold reporting value, or a combination thereof.
