1. A method for a cluster head device for providing data access to a network, said method comprising:

  • receiving from said network a control signal to initiate a random access procedure for a group of delay tolerant devices;

    based on the control signal, sending a group signaling message to the group of delay tolerant devices, the group signaling message including a group identifier that associates the cluster head device and the group of delay tolerant devices;

    initiating a random access procedure with said network to establish a primary communication channel with the network for the group using the group identifier, wherein said primary communication channel uses a first spectrum;

    establishing a complementary communication channel with the group of delay tolerant devices, wherein said complementary communication channel uses a second spectrum;

    receiving data from respective delay tolerant devices in said group on said complementary communication channel;

    aggregating said received data; and

    transferring said aggregated data on said established primary communication channel to said network.
