Various methods and devices are provided to address the need for improved neighbor detection. In a first method, a node (e.g., a mobile node or a network transceiver node) transmits () a neighbor discovery message that indicates a time at which neighbor discovery signaling is to occur. Then during the neighbor discovery signaling time, the node receives () signaling indicating a signature of at least one neighbor node. In a second method, a neighbor node receives () a neighbor discovery message that indicates a time at which neighbor discovery signaling is to occur. Then during the neighbor discovery signaling time, the neighbor node transmits () a signature identifying itself.
