1. A method, comprising:
performing, by a device, an interference analysis on interference data for a set of sectors;
comparing, by the device and based on the interference analysis, physical resource blocks (PRBs) of the set of sectors with PRBs of neighbor sectors, of the set of sectors, to generate comparison results;
identifying, by the device, a particular sector, associated with a particular base station and an external interference source, based on the comparison results; and
performing, by the device, one or more actions based on the particular sector.
