1. A method, comprising:
- initiating, by a cell site, corrective action to improve a Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) measurement of an affected sector of a plurality of sectors or an affected path of a plurality of paths falling below a first threshold, wherein the first threshold is based on a first baseline average power across a frequency range and across the plurality of sectors or the plurality of paths;
obtaining, by the cell site, a second baseline average power across the frequency range and across the plurality of sectors or the plurality of paths;
determining, by the cell site, a second threshold from the second baseline average power that is obtained; and
determining, by the cell site, whether the corrective action has improved the SINR measurement of the affected sector or the affected path according to the second threshold.

12. A cell site, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising; initiating corrective action to improve a Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) measurement of an affected sector of a plurality of sectors or an affected path of a plurality of paths that is below a first threshold, wherein the first threshold is based on a first baseline average power obtained across a frequency range and across the plurality of sectors or the plurality of paths of the cell site; determining a second threshold from a second baseline average power obtained over the frequency range and across the plurality of sectors or the plurality of paths of the cell site; and determining whether the corrective action has improved has improved the SINR measurement of the affected sector or the affected path according to the second threshold. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
identifying an affected sector of a plurality of sectors or an affected path of a plurality of paths from a first performance measurement being below a first threshold, wherein the first threshold is determined from a first baseline average power obtained across a frequency range and across a plurality of sectors or a plurality of paths of a cell site; 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. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
