At block 406, the cell coverage management service 140 may determine defects or deficiencies of cell coverage based on the data analysis. The defects or deficiencies may be determined based on a set of predetermined or dynamically generated rules, criteria, or thresholds. In some embodiments, the cell coverage management service 140 may identify cell boundary defects. Illustratively, the cell coverage management service 140 may compare the contour of cell coverage as determined at block 402 (hereinafter “measured coverage”) against intended or designed coverage of a specified cell. The cell coverage management service 140 may determine if the area of the measured cell coverage is larger or smaller than an intended coverage of the cell by some threshold margin. For example, the cell coverage management service 140 may determine whether a threshold number or percentage of geolocations served by the specified cell are beyond the intended coverage area. As another example, the cell coverage management service 140 may determine whether the farthest geolocation served by the specified cell is inside the intended coverage area by a threshold distance.

In some embodiments, the cell coverage management service 140 may identify areas with high interference. Illustratively, the cell coverage management service 140 may identify geolocations with poor signal-to-interference ratio (i.e., the ratio of signal strengths between serving cell and interfering cell(s) falls below certain threshold.) In these cases, one or more interfering cells may be labeled as overshooter cells. In some embodiments, thresholds on the distance and orientation of the interfering cell(s) may also be used to further refine or filter out the identified overshooter cells.
