    Abstract: A method for facilitating network identification is provided. The method at an access node of a first network, comprises: detecting a physical-layer-related identity of each of one or more neighboring access nodes; decoding, for each of the one or more neighboring access nodes, a network identity of the neighboring access node; for each of the one or more neighboring access nodes: determining whether the neighboring access node belongs to the first network or a different network; and determining an identity group in which the detected physical-layer-related identity of the neighboring access node is included; and selecting, as a physical-layer-related identity of the access node, a physical-layer-related identity from an identity group other than any identity group in which a physical-layer-related identity of a neighboring access node belonging to a different network is included.
