摘要

An apparatus is described which comprises a network interface configured to receive and/or send data for a user eguipment from and/or to a network, a processor configured to control a split of the data for at least two component carriers, and a transceiver unit configured to perform a downlink and/or uplink transmission with a user equipment via at least a first one of the at least two component carriers, wherein the processor is configured to send and/or receive the data of at least a second one of the at least two component carriers to and/or from a slave network node.
