A method and system for automatically updating a neighbor list associated with a serving base station is disclosed. The method involves receiving a measurement report from a User Equipment (UE) associated with the serving base station, wherein the measurement report comprises at least one relative signal strength measurement between the UE and each of a plurality of neighboring base stations; comparing the at least one relative signal strength measurement between the UE and the plurality of neighboring base stations with a current signal strength between the UE and the serving base station; identifying at least one of the plurality of neighboring base stations having a greater relative signal strength with respect to the UE than the serving base station a predefined number of times based on the comparison; and updating the neighbor list associated with the serving base station with the identified at least one neighboring base stations.
