Method and apparatus for increasing performance of communication links of cooperative communication nodes

A method comprising:

• obtaining, by a processing system including a processor, a plurality of Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) measurements from each of a plurality of cell sites in communication with the processing system;
• identifying, by the processing system, a cell site of the plurality of cell sites with a lowest SINR measurement, resulting in an identified cell site;
• based on a determination that the lowest SINR measurement is less than a first SINR threshold, causing, by the processing system, an action to be performed so as to affect SINR associated with the identified cell site;
• and
• causing, by the processing system, data to be provided to one or more other cell sites of the plurality of cell sites that enables the one or more other cell sites to reverse the action.

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

• obtaining a plurality of Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) measurements from each of a plurality of cell sites in communication with the processing system, each of the plurality of SINR measurements comprising an interference component;
• identifying a cell site with a lowest SINR measurement, resulting in an identified cell site;
• based on a determination that the lowest SINR measurement is less than a first SINR threshold, initiating an action to affect SINR associated with the identified cell site;
• and
• providing information to one or more other cell sites of the plurality of cell sites that enables the one or more other cell sites to reverse the action.
