Claim 0:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium (CRM) having instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, causes a first radio access network (RAN) node to perform operations, the operations comprising:
monitoring 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;
detecting the RIM-RS in the first TDD interval and not the second TDD interval;
determining, based on 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
saving the first set ID in memory.
