1. A method for reporting that a performance indicator, associated with a network element in a self-organizing network, is not converging towards its normal expected range, comprising:

  • monitoring a performance indicator;

    determining, by a processor, that a first performance indicator value is outside of an expected range of values associated with the performance indicator;

    defining an acceptable convergence range of values in accordance with a time period for the performance indicator to return to the expected range of values and an allowable deviation beyond the first performance indicator value, the acceptable convergence range converges to the expected range associated with the performance indicator following the expiration of the time period; and

    generating a report in response to determining that a second performance indicator value is outside of the defined acceptable convergence range.
