1. A method of operating a network node in a radio access network, the method comprising:
transmitting an identity indication, the identity indication indicating an identity associated to the network node representing an identity out of a set of identities larger than the set of physical cell identities representable by synchronisation signaling, the transmitting the identity indication including transmitting reference signaling corresponding to the identity indication, the reference signaling including at least two symbols, the at least two symbols neighboring in a time domain on a same frequency, and the at least two symbols having a differentiable connection at a symbol border on which they neighbor.
