OPTIMIZING REMOTE ANTENNA UNIT PERFORMANCE USING AN ALTERNATIVE DATA CHANNEL
First Claim
1. A network optimization system comprising:
- a plurality of remote units, each configured to receive optical communications from at least one of a plurality of optical conductors, and each comprising at least one transceiver configured for uplinking and downlinking a signal of a cellular service, and for uplinking and downlinking a signal of at least one of a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi or Zigbee service;
a router configured to route performance data collected from at least one user equipment configured for wirelessly connecting to the remote units, wherein the user equipment is configured to execute an instance of a data service configured to collect data on a performance of the network;
a performance data collector configured to aggregate the collected performance data; and
an optimizer controller configured to correlate the aggregated performance data to determine adjustments to the remote units based on the correlated performance data, whereineach remote unit is configured to receive the performance data from the at least one user equipment and transmit the performance data using the transceiver over a management channel configured to monitor or control at least one cellular service.

Abstract
A method and system for monitoring and optimizing a network may include configuring a remote antenna unit with a first transceiver for uplinking and downlinking a signal of a cellular service and with a second transceiver for uplinking and downlinking of the signal of at least one of a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi or Zigbee service. Performance data is collected from at least one user equipment configured for connecting to the remote antenna unit. The collected performance data is routed to a performance data collector configured to aggregate the performance data. The aggregated performance data is correlated. The network is optimized based on the correlated performance data.
