1. A method, comprising:
reporting, to a network node, an indication of one or more user equipment (UE) capability parameters associated with a processing procedure for positioning reference signal (PRS) bandwidth aggregation;
receiving, from the network node and associated with the reported one or more UE capability parameters, a configuration for the processing procedure, wherein the configuration supports multiple positioning frequency layer (multi-PFL) processing for aggregation of PRS resources across a plurality of PFLs, wherein the configuration supports one or more PFL groups comprising the plurality of PFLs to be configured on one or more component carriers (CCs), and wherein respective PRS resources in respective PFL groups share one or more common parameters including a first parameter associated with a subcarrier spacing (SCS) and a second parameter associated with a cyclic prefix; and
performing, based on the received configuration, the processing procedure.
