Abstract: Disclosed is a method for managing a cellular network that includes receiving information about a plurality of coverage cells in the cellular network and location coordinates of each coverage cell; generating a triangulation diagram corresponding to the location coordinates of each coverage cell; identifying for a target mapped cell, corresponding to a target coverage cell, neighbouring mapped cells having a shared boundary in the triangulation diagram; determining a length of the shared boundary between the target mapped cell and each one of the neighbouring mapped cells; assigning a ranking to each one of the neighbouring mapped cells based on the corresponding length of the shared boundary with the target mapped cell; and generating a selected neighbour list for the target coverage cell based on the ranking of the corresponding neighbouring mapped cells.
