1. A method for identifying network nodes of a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) and of a wireless communication network, which network nodes are at least potentially neighboring each other, the method comprising:

  • obtaining multiple information sets comprising a first information set and a second information set, wherein the first information set is a) associated with a first communication device supporting both the first RAT and a second RAT and b) identifies i) a first network node of the first RAT and ii) a one or more network nodes of the second RAT that have been identified by the first communication device when the first communication device was associated with a communicative connection to said first network node of the first RAT, and wherein the second information set is a) associated with a second communication device supporting both the first RAT and the second RAT and b) identifies i) a second network node of the first RAT and ii) one or more network nodes of the second RAT that have been identified by the second communication device when the second communication device was associated with a communicative connection to said second network node of the first RAT; and

    identifying, based on the obtained multiple information sets, network nodes of the first RAT that are at least potentially neighboring each other.
