1. A method of determining frequency planning measurement data in a cellular communications system using different neighbor lists allocated to different mobile stations, comprising the steps of:

  • allocating different test frequencies in the different neighbor lists for substantially each call conducted by a base station of the cellular communication system;

    wherein the different neighbor lists are allocated to different mobile stations on a per call basis to cover, over a plurality of calls, substantially all the test frequencies for the cell served by the base station; and

    repeating, on a cyclical basis comprising repeated calls, the allocation of the different neighbor lists on a per call basis covering substantially all the test frequencies;

    wherein the different neighbor list is allocated for each of a predetermined number of calls conducted by the base station of the cellular communications system, compared to the predetermined number of directly preceding calls.
