1. A user equipment comprising:
an interface comprising a plurality of receive-signal paths;
a memory; and
a processor, communicatively coupled to the interface and the memory, configured to:
transmit, via the interface to a network entity, a capability indication indicating that the user equipment is capable of processing a plurality of positioning reference signals, of a plurality of different frequencies corresponding to different frequency layers, that at least partially overlap in receipt time at the user equipment; and
measure the plurality of positioning reference signals that are received by the interface at least partially overlapping in time,
wherein the capability indication includes at least one of a path quantity or an accuracy capability, the path quantity being a number of the plurality of receive-signal paths that the user equipment will use to receive the plurality of positioning reference signals, and the capability indication includes a respective frequency band indication corresponding to each of the at least one of the path quantity or the accuracy capability.
