Claim Text:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a cluster partitioning module implemented in at least one of a memory or a processing device, the cluster partitioning module configured to receive, at a first time, a first set of performance indicators of at least one cell of a network, the cluster partitioning module configured to define a recurring schedule set, an optimization module configured to receive, at a second time after the first time, a second set of performance indicators of the at least one cell, the second set of performance indicators is for a second instance of the plurality of time periods, the optimization module configured to define a metric value associated with the recurring schedule set based on each performance indicator (1) associated with each time period from the recurring schedule set and (2) from the second set of performance indicators, the optimization module configured to send the metric value to at least one network element associated with the at least one cell such that the at least one network element changes, at each time period (1) from a third instance of the plurality of time periods and (2) from the recurring schedule set, an implementation of the network based on the metric value when the metric value is associated with a network configuration change.
