1. A method for wireless communications, the method comprising:

  • signaling, by a controller device, information about a plurality of network element groups to a first user equipment, each network element in the plurality of network element groups associated with a network element identifier;

    signaling, by the controller device, information about a set of communications system resources for each of the plurality of network element groups to the first user equipment, each set of communications system resources including a respective generalized user equipment identifier, each set of communications system resources comprising a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and the information about each set of communications system resources including information that indicating whether simultaneous transmission of the PUCCH and the PUSCH is present;

    transmitting, to the first user equipment by a first network element associated with a first network element group in the plurality of network element groups, first data on a first set of communications system resources associated with the first network element group and using a first generalized user equipment identifier; and

    transmitting, to the first user equipment by a second network element associated with a second network element group in the plurality of network element groups, second data on a second set of communications system resources associated with the second network element group and using a second generalized user equipment identifier different from the first generalized user equipment identifier, while the first network element is connected to the first user equipment.
