1. A method of operating a first node, comprising:
performing a channel response measurement on a reference signal for positioning;
determining, for each of a plurality of peaks detected within the channel response measurement, peak-specific information comprising at least angle information and peak magnitude data that is based on a peak magnitude relative to a reference value, the angle information comprising an angle of departure associated with the peak relative from a network component or an angle of arrival associated with the peak at the network component; and
reporting the peak-specific information for the plurality of peaks to a second node.
