1. A method performed by a device, the method comprising:
determining that a first geographical area satisfies an area threshold,
the first geographical area including an estimated location of a source of interference associated with a plurality of base stations,
a first plurality of vertices, of the first geographical area, being based on locations of the plurality of base stations;
determining a second plurality of vertices based on determining that the first geographical area satisfies the area threshold,
the second plurality of vertices being determined based on the estimated location and the plurality of base stations,
the second plurality of vertices being closer to the estimated location than the first plurality of vertices to the estimated location;
providing information regarding the second plurality of vertices to a vehicle;
obtaining, from the vehicle, magnitude information indicating magnitudes of the interference measured by a measurement device, associated with the vehicle, at the second plurality of vertices,
the magnitude information being obtained based on providing the information regarding the second plurality of vertices;
determining a third plurality of vertices based on the magnitude information; and
providing information regarding a second geographical area, formed by the third plurality of vertices, to the vehicle to cause the vehicle to search the second geographical area to identify the source of the interference.
