Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: determining, by at least one apparatus, a set of wireless signal measurements for a plurality of small cells; detecting, by the at least one apparatus, pilot cell pollution within a coverage area of the plurality of small cells based on the measurements; determining, by the at least one apparatus, an adjustment of at least one transmission parameter of at least one of the plurality of small cells for reducing the pilot cell pollution, wherein the determining the adjustment comprises determining signal to interference and noise ratios (SINRs) in the coverage area for the plurality of small cells based on the set of measurements and identifying at least one value for the at least one transmission parameter that maximizes a sum of the SINRs; and transmitting, by the at least one apparatus, the adjustment to the at least one of the plurality of small cells.
