A network entity for wireless communications, the network entity comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to:
• receive, from a wireless communication device, timing information indicative of a difference between first synchronization information associated with a first network entity and second synchronization information associated with the network entity;
• transmit, to the wireless communication device, subframe allocation information corresponding to periodic advertisements (PAs) between the network entity and the wireless communication device;
• and
• transmit, to the wireless communication device, a PA based on the subframe allocation information.

A method for wireless communications by a wireless communication device, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a first network entity, a request to identify one or more additional network entities available for communication with the wireless communication device;
• transmitting, to a second network entity included in the one or more additional network entities, timing information indicative of a difference between first synchronization information associated with the first network entity and second synchronization information associated with the second network entity;
• receiving, from the second network entity, subframe allocation information corresponding to periodic advertisements (PAs) between the second network entity and the wireless communication device;
• and
• receiving, from the second network entity, a PA based on the subframe allocation information.
