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.

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

A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method for measuring a power level in at least a portion of a plurality of resource blocks occurring in a radio frequency spectrum, wherein the measuring occurs for a plurality of time cycles to generate a plurality of power level measurements, calculating a baseline power level according to at least a portion of the plurality of power levels, determining a threshold from the baseline power level, and monitoring at least a portion of the plurality of resource blocks for signal interference according to the threshold. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method and apparatus for signal interference processing

A system that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may perform operations including, for example, identifying a selection of a SINR measurement target of a number of different SINR measurement targets. A SINR measurement of a second base station based on the SINR measurement target is obtained prior to a changing of an amplitude of a portion of a signal of a first base station. A determination is made as to 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. 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, the changing of the amplitude of the portion of the signal is reversed. Other embodiments are disclosed.

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

A system that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may perform operations including, for example, obtaining 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.

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

A system that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may perform operations including, for example, obtaining performance measurements, identifying a performance measurement from the performance measurements that is below performance threshold and, in turn, initiating corrective action to improve the performance measurement of an affected network element falling below the performance threshold. The performance measurements can be determined from measurements associated with signals generated by communication devices, noise levels in a spectral portion used by communication devices to transmit the signals, and interference signals exceeding an adaptive inter-cell interference threshold. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Method and apparatus for increasing performance of communication paths for communication nodes

A system that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may perform operations including, for example, obtaining performance measurements for a number of sectors or a number of paths and determining whether one or more of the performance measurements are below a threshold. A power level of at least a portion of a received uplink signal is adjusted to increase a performance measurement of an affected sector of the number of sectors or an affected path of the number of paths falling below the threshold. A determination is made as to whether the adjusting of the power level of at least the portion of the received uplink signal has improved the performance measurement of the affected sector or the affected path. Other embodiments are disclosed.
