A device may include a processor configured to receive a report from a fixed wireless access device indicating that no anchoring relationship exists between a Fourth Generation (4G) base station and a Fifth Generation (5G) base station to which the fixed wireless access device is attempting to connect. The device may be further configured to instruct a network management system to create the anchoring relationship between the 4G base station and the 5G base station; and update an anchoring relationships database with information relating to the created anchoring relationship, wherein the anchoring relationships database stores information relating to anchoring relationships between base stations in a radio access network.

Systems and methods model earth stations and other captive terrestrial sites as simulated cell sites in a radio access network (RAN) to identify potential cellular network interferers with the earth stations. A computing device selects an earth station within a geographic area of a RAN segment and model the earth station as a cell within the RAN segment, wherein the modeling creates a simulated earth station cell. The computing device obtains sector carrier data for cells in the RAN segment and scores, based on the sector carrier data, neighboring cells to the simulated earth station cell. The scoring indicates a level of potential interference of the neighboring cells with the earth station based on geo-spatial relevance. The computing device identifies projected mobility interference in neighboring cells to the earth station and provides prioritization recommendations for interference mitigation for the earth station based on the scoring and the identifying.
