1. A method in a node of a communications network for scheduling enhanced mobile-broadband (eMBB) transmissions, wherein the eMBB coverage area interferes with an ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) network, the method comprising:
predicting a time division duplex (TDD) pattern for the URLLC based on historical URLLC TDD data; and
scheduling an eMBB TDD pattern, based on the predicted URLLC TDD pattern, so as to manage cross-link interference on the URLLC network, wherein said scheduling comprises leaving at least one slot or symbol of the eMBB TDD pattern unutilized so as to manage cross-link interference on a slot or sub-slot of the URLLC.
