Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a network entity, beam shape assistance information for one or more downlink transmit beams of a base station, the beam shape assistance information representing a beam shape of each of the one or more downlink transmit beams, the beam shape of each of the one or more downlink transmit beams having a quantization, and determines an angle between the UE and the base station based at least on the beam shape assistance information and signal strength measurements of positioning reference signal resources transmitted on the one or more downlink transmit beams.
