1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:

  • determining, by a base station, a first fractional amount of a first data flow to be transmitted by a user equipment (UE) via a first communication link using a first radio access technology (RAT);

    determining, by the base station, a second fractional amount of the first data flow to be transmitted by the UE via a second communication link using a second RAT;

    transmitting, by the base station using the first RAT, control information to configure the UE to transmit the first fractional amount of the first data flow via the first communication link using the first RAT and the second fractional amount of the first data flow via the second communication link using the second RAT; and

    performing, by the base, at least one of;

    refraining from applying the determined first and second fractional amounts of the first data flow when a prohibit timer is running, orrefraining from applying the determined first and second fractional amounts of the first data flow when a number of fractional allocation changes for a data flow exceeds a threshold within a certain time.
