Adjusting signal power to increase performance of communication links of communication nodes

A system, comprising:

• a processing system including a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
• adjusting a magnitude of a portion of a base station signal of a first base station, to increase a first average signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) measurement,
• determining a second average SINR measurement of a second base station obtained prior to the adjusting of the magnitude of the portion of the base station signal of the first base station, wherein the second average SINR measurement of the second base station comprises an average over sectors of the second base station;
• determining whether the adjusting of the magnitude of the portion of the base station signal of the first base station has reduced the second average SINR measurement of the second base station;
• and
• in response to determining that the adjusting of the magnitude of the portion of the base station signal of the first base station has reduced the SINR measurement of the second base station below a SINR threshold, reversing the adjusting of the magnitude of the portion of the base station signal of the first base station.

A machine-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• changing an amplitude of a portion of a signal of a first base station, to increase a first average signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) measurement;
• determining a second average SINR measurement of a second base station, obtained prior to the changing of the amplitude of the portion of the signal of the first base station, wherein the second average SINR measurement of the second base station comprises an average over sectors of the second base station;
• determining whether the changing of the amplitude of the portion of the signal has reduced a second average SINR measurement of the second base station below a SINR threshold;
• and
• in response to determining that the changing of the amplitude of the portion of the signal has reduced the second average SINR measurement of the second base station below the SINR threshold, reversing the changing of the amplitude of the portion of the signal.
