1. A method performed by a wireless network, the method comprising:
transmitting, by the wireless network, first information using a first radio access technology (RAT) of a first frequency, wherein the first frequency is part of a first paired spectrum; transmitting, by the wireless network, second information using a second RAT of a second frequency, wherein the second frequency is part of a second paired spectrum; sending, by the wireless network, downlink control information over the first RAT; sending, by the wireless network, downlink data over the second RAT for a multimedia multicast service, wherein the downlink data is communicated based on the downlink control information and channel setup information sent over the first RAT; and wherein the downlink control information over the first RAT and the downlink data over the second RAT are sent substantially simultaneously.
