Abstract: A method may include identifying, in a network, a location of a Fifth Generation (5G) node and determining, based on the location of the 5G node and capabilities associated with the 5G node, a number of areas around the 5G node, wherein each area corresponds to a bin. The method may also include identifying, in at least some of the of bins, candidate anchor nodes for the 5G node and ranking the candidate anchor nodes based on parameters associated with the candidate anchor nodes. The method may further include selecting, for the 5G node, an anchor node from the candidate anchor nodes based on the ranking.
