Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method in which a processing system coupled to a communication network identifies, based on base station unit (BSU) performance measurements and network key performance indicator (KPI) measurements, a set of BSUs experiencing interference. The method further includes selecting BSUs from the identified set that are to be provided with an auxiliary antenna array; and computing, for each BSU in the identified set, parameters to be used by modules of the BSU that are local to the BSU and configured to perform interference detection, interference estimation, and/or interference cancellation; the computed parameters are used in a reconfiguration procedure for the modules of the BSU. Other embodiments are disclosed.
