Abstract

A method of operating a wireless device includes determining an energy on each of a plurality of resources for broadcasting CIDs, sending information to a base station based on the determined energy for each of the CIDs, and receiving a CID from the base station. The received CID is one of the CIDs determined based on the information. A method of wireless communication includes receiving first information about a first plurality of CIDs from a first wireless device, receiving second information about a second plurality of CIDs from a second wireless device, comparing the first information and the second information to determine a subset of CIDs based on the first plurality of CIDs and the second plurality of CIDs, selecting a CID based on the subset of CIDs, and sending the selected CID to at least one of the first wireless device or the second wireless device.
