In one embodiment, a wireless device communicates an uplink data stream to a wireless network using two radio access technologies (RATs) simultaneously. The wireless device has a host controller unit that segments the uplink data stream and provides each of the segmented portions to either a first baseband module corresponding to a first RAT or a second baseband module corresponding to a second RAT. The first baseband module modulates the data that it receives using the first RAT and provides the modulated data to a first radio frequency (RF) module. The second baseband module modulates the data that it receives using the second RAT and provides the modulated data to a second RF module. The first and second RF modules convert the modulated data to RF and provide the RF signals to first and second antennas, respectively. In alternative embodiments, more than two RATs are used simultaneously for communications.
