1. A method of performing neighbor cell measurements for one or more cells of a cellular radio access network (RAN), the method being implemented in a radio device wirelessly connected to or connectable to the RAN, the method comprising:
detecting at least two neighbor cells of the RAN, wherein the detected neighbor cells are neighbor cells relative to at least one of the radio device and a serving cell of the radio device, wherein at least one of the detected neighbor cells is in a neighbor cell list (NCL) of the RAN, and wherein at least one of the detected neighbor cells is not in the NCL of the RAN;
receiving an NCL control message from the RAN;
measuring, for each of one or more of the detected neighbor cells of the RAN, a resynchronization signal (RSS) from the respective cell; and
estimating, for each of the one or more of the detected neighbor cells of the RAN, a radio signal value based on the RSS from the respective cell;
wherein the NCL control message indicates to include the at least one detected neighbor cell not in the NCL in at least one of the measuring and the estimating.
