A method (200) and system (100, 300, 400) enables high data-rate users to be serviced even from within congested cells. If a user that is associated with an MS (115-130) is located within a first cell (Cell A) that is too congested to provide the bandwidth requested by the user, all or a part of the information flow to/from the MS (115-130) may be transceived from/to other nearby cells (Cells B-G). For example, in a TDMA system, a user requiring three time slots per frame in order to aggregate sufficient bandwidth may be in communication with three different cells (C2, C3, C4) during each frame. The present invention may additionally be applied in the context of handoffs when, for example, an MS continues to be partially served by the previous cell before the new cell is able to service the high data-rate information flow. In another embodiment, the present invention may be implemented in a local wireless network (400) environment in which multiple radio heads (425) are controlled by a HUB (415).
