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 device, comprising:
- a processing system for a cell site, wherein the processing system includes a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- determining that a signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) measurement is below a threshold, wherein the SINR measurement comprises a measurement of a SINR of a sector of the cell site;
- sending a request for SINR measurements for a neighboring cell site;
- receiving the SINR measurements for the neighboring cell site responsive to the request;
- selecting a corrective action for attempting to improve the SINR of the sector of the cell site, wherein the corrective action is selected based on the SINR measurements for the neighboring cell site;
- and
- initiating the corrective action.
A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- determining a plurality of signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) measurements comprising a respective SINR measurement for each of a plurality of sectors of a cell site;
- identifying a lowest SINR measurement among the plurality of SINR measurements, wherein the lowest SINR measurement corresponds to an SINR of a sector among the plurality of sectors;
- determining to attempt to improve the SINR of the sector responsive to a determination that the lowest SINR measurement is below a threshold;
- sending a request for SINR measurements for a neighboring cell site;
- receiving the SINR measurements for the neighboring cell site responsive to the request;
- selecting a corrective action for attempting to improve the SINR of the sector, wherein the corrective action is selected based on the SINR measurements for the neighboring cell site;
- and
- initiating the corrective action.
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a processing system including a processor, a plurality of signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) measurements comprising a respective SINR measurement for each of a plurality of sectors of a cell site;
- identifying, by the processing system, a lowest SINR measurement among the plurality of SINR measurements, wherein the lowest SINR measurement corresponds to an SINR of a sector among the plurality of sectors;
- determining, by the processing system, to attempt to improve the SINR of the sector responsive to a determination that the lowest SINR measurement is below a threshold;
- selecting, by the processing system, a corrective action for attempting to improve the SINR of the sector, wherein the corrective action is selected based on SINR measurements for a neighboring cell site;
- and
- initiating, by the processing system, the corrective action.
