1. A network management (NM) apparatus comprising:

  • receiver circuitry to receive first data representative of service performance during a period of increased wireless traffic demand in one or more cells of an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN), and the first data representative of service performance at a plurality of geographic locations covered by the one or more cells of the E-UTRAN;

    coverage analysis circuitry to;

    access second data representative of environmental information, wherein the second data representative of environmental information includes a geographic location of a built structure proximate to an area of increased wireless traffic demand, andcorrelate the geographic locations of the first data and the geographic location of the second data to identify a service-deficient geographic area; and

    corrective action circuitry to, in response to identification of the service-deficient geographic area, adjust one or more cells of the E-UTRAN to provide additional service to the service-deficient geographic area to address the increased wireless traffic demand.
