1. A computer-implemented method, performed by at least one processor, for identifying radio transmission links for one or more cells within a network, the method comprising:
receiving location data with respect to a cell within the network;
finding, based on the location data, multiple radio transmitters as candidates;
determining, for each of the candidates, if a first line of sight is clear between the cell and each of the candidates;
upon determining that there is one or more candidates with a clear line of sight, determining if each of the one or more candidates with the clear line of sight are located at a first transmission medium location; and
upon determining that there is one or more candidates located at the first transmission medium location, creating a link between the cell and at least one of the one or more candidates located at the first transmission medium location.
