1. A method performed by a first radio network node for determining a global identity (ID) of a second radio network node which is a neighbor of the first radio network node, the method comprising:
receiving length information which specifies a length of the global ID of the second radio network node, from a wireless device served by the first radio network node; and
determining the global ID of the second radio network node based on the length information;
wherein the length of the global ID is defined by a number of bits, the length information specifying a number of bits exceeding a smallest number of bits that the global ID can have, and wherein the determining of the global ID comprises summing the number of bits exceeding the smallest number of bits and the smallest number of bits to obtain a total number of bits of the global ID.
