1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- setting, by a first wireless access network node, a data rate for communication of data between a second wireless access network node and a user equipment (UE), wherein the UE is concurrently connected to the first wireless access network node and the second wireless access network node;
sending, by the first wireless access network node, information relating to the data rate to the second wireless access network node for use by the second wireless access network node in controlling data communication between the second wireless access network node and the UE, wherein the data rate is derived from an aggregate data rate, wherein a first portion of the aggregate data rate includes the data rate for the communication of data between the second wireless access network node and the UE, and wherein a second, different portion of the aggregate data rate is used to control communication between the first wireless access network node and the UE;
determining, by the first wireless access network node, a latency requirement for each of a plurality of bearers;
keeping, by the first wireless access network node, a bearer having a latency requirement within a first range at the first wireless access network node; and
offloading, by the first wireless access network node, a bearer having a latency requirement within a second, different range to the second wireless access network node.

Abstract
A first wireless access network node sets a data rate for communication of data between a second wireless access network node and a user equipment (UE) that is concurrently connected to the first wireless access network node and the second wireless access network node. The first wireless access network node sends information relating to the data rate to the second wireless access network node for use by the second wireless access network node in controlling data communication between the second wireless access network node and the UE.

14. A first wireless access network node for a small cell, comprising:
a communication interface to communicate with a macro wireless access network node, and at least one processor configured to;
receive, from the macro wireless access network node, a first user equipment-aggregate maximum bit rate (UE-AMBR), the first UE-AMBR being set by the macro wireless access network node based on splitting a total UE-AMBR into;
the first UE-AMBR for controlling wireless data communication between the first wireless access network node and a UE, and a second UE-AMBR for controlling wireless data communication between the macro wireless access network node and the UE;
control data communication between the first wireless access network node for the small cell and the UE using the first UE-AMBR; and
receive, from the macro wireless access network node, offload of a first bearer having a latency requirement within a first range to the first wireless access network node, wherein a second bearer having a latency requirement within a second, different range is kept at the macro wireless access network node.- View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
