Abstract

Embodiments herein relate to a method in a first communication device with an adaptive neighboring cell relations function. The first communication device receives (42) a measurement report of a possible neighboring cell candidate of a second communication device from a user equipment camped/connected within a first cell served by the first communication device and determines (44) to set up an inter node connection to the second communication device serving the possible neighboring cell candidate indicated in the received measurement report. The firs communication device then initiates (46) to set up the inter node connection to the second communication device by sending a connection request comprising a geographical position of the first communication device.
