1. A networked computer system in a cellular communications network comprising:

  • a processor;

    a memory; and

    a non-transitory computer readable medium with computer executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, perform the following method;

    measuring a signal strength value for a signal sent by at least one base station and received by a plurality of user equipment;

    calculating first signal strength ratios using the first signal strength value;

    converting the first signal strength ratio into first user equipment spectral efficiency values for each user equipment of the plurality of user equipment; and

    comparing a first spectral efficiency value corresponding to the first user equipment spectral efficiency values to a second spectral efficiency value to evaluate a data efficiency metric associated with an interference reduction scheme that is running on the base station when the signal strength value is measured.
