A first connection can be established with a user equipment (UE) using the first RAT, and a second connection can be established with the UE using an assisting RAT. A timing of the first connection can be synchronized based at least in part on a timeline of the assisting RAT, and a neighboring access point can be collaborated with in communicating with a UE over at least the first connection.
