Abstract: A system that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may perform operations including, for example, obtaining performance measurements for a number of sectors or a number of paths and determining whether one or more of the performance measurements are below a threshold. A power level of at least a portion of a received uplink signal is adjusted to increase a performance measurement of an affected sector of the number of sectors or an affected path of the number of paths falling below the threshold. A determination is made as to whether the adjusting of the power level of at least the portion of the received uplink signal has improved the performance measurement of the affected sector or the affected path. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A system that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may perform operations including, for example, obtaining performance measurements, identifying a performance measurement from the performance measurements that is below performance threshold and, in turn, initiating corrective action to improve the performance measurement of an affected network element falling below the performance threshold. The performance measurements can be determined from measurements associated with signals generated by communication devices, noise levels in a spectral portion used by communication devices to transmit the signals, and interference signals exceeding an adaptive inter-cell interference threshold.
