Managing interference in control channels and methods thereof

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
• obtaining uplink information that describes a configuration for uplink wireless communications by a communication device, wherein the uplink information comprises a first assignment of a first resource block to the communication device for transport of control information as a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);
• obtaining a first Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) measurement of the PUCCH;
• commencing a first corrective action responsive to detecting the first SINR measurement being below a first SINR threshold;
• and
• commencing a second SINR measurement of the PUCCH to confirm the second SINR measurement is above the first SINR measurement;
• wherein the first SINR threshold is associated with the PUCCH;
• and
• wherein the first corrective action does not include reassignment of the PUCCH to another resource block.

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

• monitoring a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) by measuring a first Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) of the PUCCH, wherein the measuring results in a first series of SINR measurements;
• initiating a first corrective action to improve upon the first series of SINR measurements responsive to the first series of SINR measurements being below a first SINR threshold;
• and
• responsive to the initiating, measuring a second SINR of the PUCCH resulting in a second series of SINR measurements to confirm that the second series of SINR measurements improves upon the first series of SINR measurements;
• wherein the PUCCH is monitored more frequently than a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for signal quality.
