Claim 12:
13. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions for causing an apparatus to perform at least the following:
generate, at a cell configured for a first air interface protocol, a reference signal based on a cell identifier for a second air interface protocol;
determine, at the cell configured for the first air interface protocol, an air interface resource allocation for the first air interface protocol based on the cell identifier for the second air interface protocol;
transmit, by the cell configured for the first air interface protocol, the generated cell reference signal according to the determined air interface resource allocation; and
determine, at the cell configured for the first air interface protocol, the cell identifier configured for the second air interface protocol based on at least one of
a signalling procedure with one or more cells configured for the second air interface protocol, or
a signalling procedure with a centralized network entity for distributing cell-specific cell identifiers.
