A system and method for managing interference between different enterprises operating over the same spectrum. The system includes central units of a host, a first enterprise and a second enterprise; a first interface for connecting the central unit of the host to the central unit of the first enterprise; and a second interface for connecting the central unit of the host to the second enterprise; wherein the central unit of the host is configured to: enable relaying of load information between the first and second enterprises to minimize interference between each enterprise when the first and second enterprises are operating in the same spectrum and an overlapping coverage region between cell sites; and arbitrate transmission requests from a respective enterprise based on information from service level agreements (SLAs) shared between the central unit at the host and the respective enterprise.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for design of channel raster for narrowband operation. One example method, performed by a base station, generally includes determining, based on one or more conditions, an exact frequency location of one channel of one or more channels to perform narrowband communications with a user equipment. The method also includes transmitting an indication of the one or more conditions to the user equipment. The method further includes communicating with the UE, based at least in part on the exact frequency location of the one channel.

The disclosure provides various methods for time-aware scheduling of time-sensitive network (TSN) streams in 5G networks. One method, performed in a core network associated with a radio access network (RAN), is for scheduling resources in the RAN according to a transmission schedule associated with an external network. The method comprises receiving (1210), from the external network, a transmission schedule associated with a time-sensitive data stream and sending (1220), to the RAN, a request to allocate radio resources for communication of the data stream between the RAN and a user equipment (UE). The request further comprises information related to the transmission schedule. The method also comprises receiving (1230), from the RAN, a response indicating whether radio resources can be allocated to meet the transmission schedule associated with the data stream.

Various embodiments may provide streaming service downlink network assistance and/or uplink network assistance mechanisms in a fifth generation (5G) system (5GS) network via an Application Function (AF) computing device in a 5GS. In some embodiments, a computing device and/or the AF computing device may inform the network about needs for capacity for downlink or uplink traffic. Various embodiments may include sending radio access network (RAN) capacity requests to a network computing device of the 5GS network including a 5G RAN. In some embodiments, the network computing device of the 5GS network may be a computing device that is not part of the 5G RAN. In some embodiments, capacity need messages may be sent directly from user equipment (UE) computing devices to computing devices of the 5G RAN. In some embodiments, capacity information of the RAN may be delivered to an AF computing device via an intermediate network function.

The present technology is generally directed to dynamically adding network resources based on an application function (AF) notification. The present technology can determine, by an AF of a service provider, a network congestion on a network, the network congestion indicating that network resources for servicing a user device using services of the service provider do not meet corresponding Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Further, the present technology can transmit a notification by the AF to a core network of a network provider to request additional network resources to be allocated for servicing the user device, the network provider providing network connectivity for the user device to receive the services provided by the service provider.
