A method and apparatus are provided for facilitating the creation of an intra-system interface between systems operating in an unlicensed spectrum, such as between respective access points of first and second LTE systems that use the same radio resources within an unlicensed spectrum, such as within the TV white spaces. In the context of a method, configuration messages may be caused to be sent to first and second systems regarding creation of an intra-system interface. The method may also receive configuration message responses including address information for first and second access points of the first and second systems, respectively. The method may additionally cause a message to be sent to the first system to trigger the first system to initiate establishment of the intra-system interface with the second system.
