The present invention proposes a method for determining neighboring cells in a communication network, the communication network consisting of a plurality of N cells each being defined by a transceiver device (BS) adapted to communicate with at least one transceiver terminal device (MS) in a respective cell, which plurality of N cells is composed of a serving cell of interest in which at least one transceiver terminal device (MS) actively communicates with said transceiver device (BS) defining said cell of interest, a maximum number of X neighboring cells to said serving cell of interest, to which neighboring cells a handover for a moving transceiver terminal device (MS) can be effected, and a number of N-X-1 surrounding cells surrounding said serving cell of interest and to which surrounding cells no handover for a moving transceiver terminal device (MS) can be effected, the method comprises the steps of: selecting (S41) one of said N cells of said network as a serving cell of interest, commanding (S42) said at least one transceiver terminal device (MS) communicating with said transceiver device (BS) defining said cell of interest to measure signals transmitted by the respective transceiver devices of said plurality of N cells other than the cell of interest, processing (S43) said measurement results to obtain a result indicating a reliability for a successful handover to a respective one of said plurality of N cells other than the cell of interest, evaluating (S44) the obtained indication of reliability and establishing a ranking for said plurality of N cells other than the cell of interest, and selecting (S45) a maximum number of X neighboring cells to said serving cell of interest, to which neighboring cells a handover for a moving transceiver terminal device (MS) can be effected, based on the ranking of reliability.
