A method of wireless communication performed by a base station in a wireless network having a super frame configuration on a shared spectrum shared between a plurality of network operators, comprising: obtaining a discovery preamble from a plurality of network entities within the wireless network, wherein each of the plurality of network entities belongs to one or more of the plurality of network operators and shares the super frame configuration; detecting a timing of the super frame configuration using the discovery preamble, wherein the detecting the timing includes detecting a sequence of the discovery preamble, wherein the sequence is common across the plurality of network operators or specific to each of the plurality of network operators; and synchronizing the base station to the super frame configuration according to the detected timing, the method further including: obtaining an acquisition interval within the super frame for the base station, wherein the acquisition interval is associated with a network operator to which the base station belongs, and wherein the obtaining the acquisition interval includes determining the acquisition interval by the base station; wherein the acquisition interval has a location; detecting another acquisition interval location of another base station of the network operator to which the base station belongs, wherein the another acquisition interval location is different from the location of the acquisition interval; determining that the another acquisition interval location is marked as permanent by the another base station; marking the location of the acquisition interval of the base station as temporary; verifying, after the marking, that the another acquisition interval location is still marked as permanent; initiating transmission of a base station discovery preamble at the another acquisition interval location, wherein transmission of the base station discovery preamble is ceased at the acquisition interval; and notifying one or more served user equipments, UEs, of the another acquisition interval location. obtaining a discovery preamble from a plurality of network entities within the wireless network, wherein each of the plurality of network entities belongs to one or more of the plurality of network operators and shares the super frame configuration;
