Abstract
A system that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may perform operations including, for example, monitoring 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.
Claims32
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a cell site, Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) measurements for a plurality of sectors or a plurality of paths;
- determining, by the cell site, whether one or more of the SINR measurements are below a SINR threshold;
- initiating, by the cell site, corrective action to improve a SINR measurement of an affected sector of the plurality of sectors or an affected path of the plurality of paths falling below the SINR threshold;
- and
- determining, by the cell site, whether the corrective action has improved the SINR measurement of the affected sector or the affected path.
A cell site, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- obtaining Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) measurements from a plurality of sectors or a plurality of paths of the cell site;
- detecting a SINR measurement of the SINR measurements that is below a threshold;
- identifying an affected sector of the plurality of sectors or an affected path of the plurality of paths from which the SINR measurement was obtained;
- initiating corrective action to improve the SINR measurement;
- and
- determining whether the corrective action has improved the SINR measurement.
A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising obtaining performance measurements from a plurality of sectors or a plurality of paths of a cell site;
- determining that a first performance measurement from the performance measurements is below a threshold;
- identifying an affected sector of the plurality of sectors or an affected path of the plurality of paths from which the first performance measurement was obtained;
- detecting that an initial performance measurement of the affected sector or the affected path was reduced due to corrective action initiated by the cell site for a first sector of the plurality of sectors or a first path of the plurality of paths to improve a performance measurement of the first sector or the first path, wherein the first sector differs from the affected sector, and wherein the first path differs from the affected path;
- and
- reversing at least in part the corrective action of the first sector or the first path to improve the first performance measurement of the affected sector or the affected path.
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a communication system comprising a processor, performance measurements for each of a plurality of communication paths used by the communication system;
- determining, by the communication system, whether one or more of the performance measurements are below a performance threshold;
- initiating, by the communication system, corrective action to improve a performance measurement of an affected path of the plurality of paths responsive to the performance measurement of the affected path falling below the performance threshold;
- and
- determining, by the communication system, whether the corrective action has improved the performance measurement of the affected path.
