Provided is a method for evaluating correlation validity between an estimation result and location information performed by a network object in a wireless communication system. The method comprises: obtaining from user equipment the estimation result from a first point in time; obtaining from the user equipment location information from a second point in time; obtaining correlation validity information for determining correlation and evaluating the correlation validity; and performing the correlation validity evaluation on the basis of the correlation for determining whether the location information is highly correlated to the estimation result. When the location information is determined to have a high correlation to the estimation result through the correlation validity evaluation, the location information is used for optimizing network performance. When the location information is determine to have a low correlation to the estimation result through the correlation validity evaluation, the estimation result is used for optimizing network performance.
