1. One or more non-transitory computer readable media having program code that, when executed by one or more processors, causes a Coverage and Capacity Optimization (CCO) component to:

  • receive service performance data of one or more evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) cells, wherein each E-UTRAN cell of the one or more E-UTRAN cells is provided by at least one evolved nodeB (eNB);

    identify a service-deficient area based on the service performance data;

    control transmission of a first instruction to initiate performance of one or more minimization of drive tests (MDTs) by one or more eNBs associated with the identified service-deficient area;

    control receipt of MDT data that is based on results of the one or more MDTs;

    correlate the MDT data with the service performance data;

    determine a coverage area to be adjusted based on the correlation; and

    control transmission of a second instruction to alter a service parameter of at least one E-UTRAN cell of the one or more E-UTRAN cells to adjust the coverage area.
