1. A method, comprising:

  • determining, by a processing system including a processor, a first threshold according to a first baseline average power obtained across a frequency range and a plurality of cell sites;

    obtaining, by the processing system, a plurality of Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) measurements at the plurality of cell sites;

    identifying, by the processing system, a first cell site of the plurality of cell sites according to a first SINR measurement of the plurality of SINR measurements that is below the first threshold, wherein the first SINR measurement is associated with the first cell site;

    initiating, by the processing system, corrective action at the first cell site to improve first SINR performance of the first cell site responsive to identification of the first cell site;

    obtaining, by the processing system, a second SINR measurement of the first cell site subsequent to initiation of the corrective action;

    comparing, by the processing system, the second SINR measurement of the first cell site and the first SINR measurement of the first cell site; and

    adjusting at least in part, by the processing system, the corrective action initiated at the first cell site according to comparison of the second SINR measurement of the first cell site and the first SINR measurement of the first cell site.
