Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: detecting, by a system comprising a processor, uplink noise on an uplink channel to a first base station device; determining, by the system, whether the uplink noise includes foreign interference, wherein the foreign interference comprises interference from a device that operates outside of a communication system within which the first base station device operates; and modifying, by the system, a first service area of the first base station device based on determining that the uplink noise includes foreign interference, wherein the modifying comprises reducing the first service area to a second service area by excluding a portion of an imbalance region in the first service area, and wherein the determining comprises determining whether the uplink noise on the uplink channel to the first base station device satisfies a defined condition of whether the uplink noise comprises a value that reduces an uplink service area of the first base station device to a region that is less than a downlink service area for the first base station device.
