Okay, according to this somewhat recent paper, chapter VI, C., static "obstructions" (e.g. buildings) can be put into a model and «precise position estimates» can be calculated «even in obstructed line-of-sight scenarios». Emphasis on "estimates". But it's only talking about one obstruction, not multiple in a complex arrangement. But, of course, the more BTSes receive you, the better the prediction.

    It's a whole science there are multiple techniques involved. Looking up stuff like Path Loss should be a start if you are intressted, you can also probably read the 5G protocol from Ericsson or Qualcomm, to find more details of their capabilities.
