Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are described for wireless communications. Cells may be grouped into a plurality of cell groups. A base station may transmit a first message to a wireless device via a primary cell group. The first message may indicate information associated with content stored at one or more servers. The base station may also transmit the content to the wireless device via the primary cell group and via the secondary cell group.

A method comprising:
- transmitting, by a node and to a wireless device, at least one control message comprising one or more configuration parameters of a plurality of cells grouped into a plurality of cell groups, wherein the plurality of cell groups comprise a primary cell group and a secondary cell group;
- transmitting, to the wireless device via the primary cell group, a first message that indicates information associated with content stored at one or more servers;
- receiving, from the wireless device via the primary cell group, a second message indicating a request for the content stored at the one or more servers;
- transmitting, to the wireless device via the primary cell group, a command configured to activate one or more secondary cells of the secondary cell group;
- and
- transmitting, to the wireless device, via the primary cell group and via the secondary cell group, a first plurality of packets comprising a first portion of the content.
