Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 14:
15. A first radio access network (RAN) node, comprising:
radio front end circuitry configured to perform wireless communication over a wireless network; and
processor circuitry, coupled to the radio front end circuitry, configured to:
monitor in a first time division duplex (TDD) interval and in a second TDD interval for a remote interference management-reference signal (RIM-RS) transmitted from a second RAN node, wherein the first TDD interval corresponds to a first set identifier (ID) used by the second RAN node and the second TDD interval corresponds to a second set ID used by the second RAN node;
detect the RIM-RS in the first TDD interval and not the second TDD interval;
determine, based on the detection of the RIM-RS in the first TDD interval and not the second TDD interval, that the second RAN node is operating according to the first set ID associated with a first transmitter of the second RAN node that transmitted the RIM-RS; and
save the first set ID in memory.
