Determining counteractions for remedying network anomalies

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code;
• the at least one memory and the computer code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
• detect an anomaly associated with at least a first cell of a communication network;
• determine, based on a channel quality indicator, a common nominator for the anomaly in terms of antenna port, radio unit, sector of transmission site, or transmission site;
• determine, based on the common nominator, a counteraction for the first cell for remedying the anomaly;
• identify at least one second cell of the communication network impacted by the counteraction;
• obtain one or more first performance indicators of at least one of the first cell and the at least one second cell, wherein the one or more first performance indicators are associated with a first time period before performance of the counteraction;
• cause performance of the counteraction at the first cell or providing an indication of the counteraction for performance of the counteraction at the first cell by a user;
• obtain one or more second performance indicators associated with the at least one of the first cell and the at least one second cell, wherein the one or more second performance indicators are associated with a second time period after performance of the counteraction, wherein the first and second performance indicators comprise values of the channel quality indicator;
• and
• verify the counteraction based on the one or more first performance indicators and the one or more second performance.

A computer program comprising program code configured to, when executed by a processor, cause an apparatus at least to:

• detect an anomaly associated with at least a first cell of a communication network;
• determine, based on a channel quality indicator, a common nominator for the anomaly in terms of antenna port, radio unit, sector of transmission site, or transmission site;
• determine, based on the common nominator, a counteraction for the first cell for remedying the anomaly;
• identify at least one second cell of the communication network impacted by the counteraction;
• obtain one or more first performance indicators of at least one of the first cell and the at least one second cell, wherein the one or more first performance indicators are associated with a first time period before performance of the counteraction;
• cause performance of the counteraction at the first cell or providing an indication of the counteraction for performance of the counteraction at the first cell by a user;
• obtain one or more second performance indicators associated with the at least one of the first cell and the at least one second cell, wherein the one or more second performance indicators are associated with a second time period after performance of the counteraction, wherein the first and second performance indicators comprise values of the channel quality indicator;
• and
• verify the counteraction based on the one or more first performance indicators and the one or more second performance indicators.
