1. A method of operating a primary transmission point, the method comprising:
processing, by the primary transmission point, a downlink data of a bearer at a first network layer; splitting, by the primary transmission point at the first network layer, the downlink data of the bearer into a first data of the bearer and a second data of the bearer; processing, by the primary transmission point, the first data of the bearer at a second network layer; distributing, by the primary transmission point, the second data of the bearer to a secondary transmission point; and transmitting, by the primary transmission point, the first data of the bearer to a user equipment in conjunction with the secondary transmission point transmitting the second data of the bearer to the user equipment.
