Claim:
1. A method for wireless communication by an evolved Node B (eNB) of a first radio access technology (RAT), comprising: configuring radio bearers of different types for communication with a user equipment (UE) capable of communicating via the first RAT and a second RAT; selecting one or more of the radio bearers for routing packets to the UE via at least one of the first or second RAT, wherein the selecting is based at least in part on whether the UE is capable of communicating data of a same bearer on the first and second RATs simultaneously, wherein the selecting comprises scheduling a UE capable of communicating data of a same bearer on the first and second RATs simultaneously independently from a UE not capable of communicating data of a same bearer on the first and second RATs simultaneously, and wherein the scheduling is performed using separate schedulers and flow control modules for each type of UE; and communicating with the UE using the selected radio bearers.
