1. A method for optimizing network performance, comprising:
providing a wireless distribution system (WDS) communicatively coupled to a macro network, the WDS comprising a central unit, a plurality of interconnect units, and a plurality of distributed remote units communicatively coupled to the central unit;
receiving a macro network performance report from the macro network;
analyzing the macro network performance report to determine if at least one performance indicator indicates that radio frequency (RF) interference exists between the WDS and the macro network; and
reconfiguring the one or more WDS elements to reduce the RF interference determined to exist between the WDS and the macro network based on the detected RF interference determined between the WDS and the macro network;
determining if the RF interference determined to exist between the WDS and the macro network is caused by at least one remote unit of the plurality of remote units; and
causing the at least one remote unit in the WDS to reduce the RF interference between the WDS and the macro network if the RF interference determined to exist between the WDS and the macro network is caused by the at least one remote unit.
