1. A software defined networking (SDN) controller in a communications system, the SDN controller configured to:
receive a wireless distribution system (WDS) performance report from a WDS control system in communication with the SDN controller and a WDS comprising a plurality of remote units;
receive a local area network (LAN) performance report from a LAN control system in communication with the SDN controller and a LAN;
determine whether quality-of-experiences (QoEs) of the communications system meet performance targets;
provide a WDS configuration instruction to the WDS control system in response to determining that the WDS needs to be reconfigured to improve the QoEs of the communications system; and
provide a LAN configuration instruction to the LAN control system in response to determining that the LAN needs to be reconfigured to improve the QoEs of the communications system, wherein:
the LAN control system is configured to:
determine a selected radio frequency (RF) circuit in the LAN that is out of service; and
generate the LAN performance report indicating that the selected RF circuit is out of service; and
the SDN controller is configured to provide the WDS configuration instruction to the WDS control system to shift capacity to a selected remote unit in the WDS that is collocated with the selected RF circuit.
