Abstract
Methods, nodes and arrangements for supporting identification of one or more neighboring network nodes comprised in a wireless communication network. A communication device is associated with a communicative connection to a first network node, e.g. a serving base station. The communication device obtains a first identifier identifying the first network node, and transmits the obtained first identifier in an uplink so that the first identifier is receivable by one or more other, second network nodes, e.g. non-serving base stations. Receipt of the first identifier by a second network node enables identification of the first radio network node as neighboring said second radio network node. The second network node obtains, based on the first identifier, an address of the first network node, and/or a second identifier uniquely identifying the first network node, in the wireless communication network.
