1. A method of managing interference between different enterprises operating over a same spectrum, comprising:
establishing a connection between a control unit of a first enterprise and the control unit of a second enterprise via a first interface for coordinating communication activity between each enterprise operating in the same spectrum,
wherein the first enterprise is associated with a first New Radio (NR) cell site and the second enterprise is associated with a second NR cell site,
wherein the first NR cell site is neighboring the second NR cell site with an overlapping coverage region between each NR cell site;
coordinating transmissions between the first and second enterprises based on load information transmitted via the first interface between the first and second enterprises when both the first and second enterprises are operating in an overlapping coverage region of neighboring NR cell sites in the same spectrum; and
configuring the first interface to enable transmission of only load information between each of the enterprises,
wherein transmission of the load information does not require any standard format in order for processing by the control unit of either enterprise,
configuring a second interface for coupling a central unit at a host to the central unit of the first enterprise, and to the central unit of the second enterprise wherein each enterprise is separately coupled wherein the second interface is configured to transmit mobility information,
wherein the central unit of each enterprise ensures that any overlap in requests by each enterprise for reserved grant-free resources by each enterprise is minimized.
