1. A network optimization system comprising:
- a remote antenna unit comprising;
a transceiver configured for uplinking and downlinking a signal of a cellular service;
a transceiver configured 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 connecting to the remote antenna unit, where 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 network optimization system based on the correlated performance data.

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.
