The present invention relates to a method of generating neighbor lists in a radio communication network comprising user terminals and base stations defining sectored or omnidirectional radio cells, where communication between user terminals and base stations is arranged to take place over radio channels. The method comprises the steps of: (a) receiving radio channel measurements from at least some of the user terminals; (b) creating a first table by using the measurements received from the user terminals, the first table comprising for at least some of the user terminals the corresponding radio channel measurement in relation to different radio cells; (c) processing the first table to generate a cell coupling matrix indicative of a radio coupling figure between different pairs of cells in the network; and (d) for a certain cell obtaining a neighbor list by determining the radio channel neighbors to be the cells of which the coupling figure with the cell in question is greater than a given threshold.
