Abstract

Systems and methods for dual wireless communication technology communications are provided. A mobile station communicates with two transceivers of a base site, where each transceiver operates according to a different wireless communication technology. The mobile station can communicate uplink and downlink control information with a first transceiver of the base site while also communicating uplink and downlink data with a second transceiver. Alternatively, the mobile station may transmit uplink transmissions only to a first transceiver and only receive downlink transmissions from a second transceiver.
