Abstract: A management system may receive base station information regarding 5G base stations identified by a fixed wireless access (FWA) device. The base station information may identify the 5G base stations and sectors of the 5G base stations. The management system may provide a request for a quantity of devices connected to each of the sectors. The management system may receive device information indicating the quantity of devices connected to each sector of the sectors of the 5G base stations. The management system may determine loads of the 5G base stations based on the device information. The management system may provide load information regarding the loads of the 5G base stations. The load information may be provided to cause a 4G base station to determine the loads of the 5G base stations prior to causing a 5G base station to establish a connection with the FWA device.

Abstract: A network management system may provide, to a base station, a request for base station device information regarding devices connected to the base station. The base station may be identified by a fixed wireless access (FWA) device. The network management system may receive, based on the request, the base station device information from the base station. The base station device information may indicate a quantity of the devices connected to the base station and signal strengths of the devices connected to the base station. The network management system may determine a load of the base station based on the quantity of the devices and the signal strengths of the devices and determine a signal strength threshold associated with the base station based on the load. The network management system may cause a connection to be established between the FWA device and the base station based on the signal strength threshold.

Abstract: 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.
