Abstract
A system that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may perform operations including, for example, obtaining performance parameters in a communications network, identifying a degradation in performance of one or more nodes of the communications network according the monitored performance parameters, and initiating corrective action to mitigate the degradation in performance of the one or more nodes of the communications network. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processing system including a processor, a first plurality of signals for a first plurality of channels at a cell site over a first time period, wherein each signal of the first plurality of signals corresponds to each channel in the first plurality of channels;
- determining, by the processing system, that a signal strength of each of a first group of signals from the first plurality of signals is above a first predetermined threshold;
- identifying, by the processing system, a first signal from the first group of signals, wherein the first signal corresponds to a first channel of the first plurality of channels;
- receiving, by the processing system, a second plurality of signals for a second plurality of channels at the cell site over a second time period, wherein each signal of the second plurality of signals corresponds to each channel in the second plurality of channels;
- determining, by the processing system, that a signal strength of each of a second group of signals from the second plurality of signals is above the first predetermined threshold;
- and
- initiating, by the processing system, corrective action of the first channel at the cell site responsive to identifying, by the processing system, a second signal from the second group of signals, wherein the second signal corresponds to the first channel.

- detecting the first plurality of signals for a first plurality of channels received at a cell site over a first time period, wherein each signal of the first plurality of signals corresponds to each channel in the first plurality of channels;
- determining that a signal strength of each of a first group of signals from the first plurality of signals is above a first predetermined threshold;
- identifying a first signal from the first group of signals, wherein the first group of signals corresponds to a first channel of the first plurality of channels;
- selecting a second number for a second plurality of signals;
- detecting the second plurality of signals for a second plurality of channels received at the cell site over a second time period, wherein each signal of the second plurality of signals corresponds to each channel in the second plurality of channels;
- determining that a signal strength of each of a second group of signals from the second plurality of signals is above the first predetermined threshold;
- and
- filtering the first signal at the cell site using one or more filters in response to identifying a second signal from the second group of signals, wherein the second signal corresponds to the first channel.
