1. A wireless device comprising:
a receiver; and
a processor;
the receiver configured to:
receive a first subframe via a first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication channel that includes a first set of OFDM subcarriers used for data and control, the first set of OFDM subcarriers spanning an entire bandwidth of the first OFDM communication channel, the first OFDM communication channel having a single, first carrier frequency, wherein first control information is transmitted spanning the entire bandwidth of the first OFDM communication channel, the first control information is located in a front portion of the first subframe and data is located in a remaining portion; and
receive a second subframe via a second OFDM communication channel that includes a second set of OFDM subcarriers used for data and control, the second set of OFDM subcarriers spanning an entire bandwidth of the second OFDM communication channel, the second OFDM communication channel having a single, second carrier frequency, wherein second control information is transmitted spanning the entire bandwidth of the second OFDM communication channel, the second control information is located in a front portion of the second subframe and data is located in a remaining portion;
wherein downlink assignments are received via at least one of the first control information or the second control information, wherein the downlink assignments assign OFDM subcarriers on a subframe basis and the downlink assignments indicate a first group of OFDM subcarriers of the first set of OFDM subcarriers and a second group of OFDM subcarriers of the second set of OFDM subcarriers;
wherein a first portion of data for a single service is received via the first group of OFDM subcarriers and a second portion of data for the single service is received via the second group of OFDM subcarriers, wherein the first portion of data is received at least in-part simultaneously with the second portion of data; and
the processor is configured to combine the first portion of data for the single service with the second portion of data for the single service to produce integrated data.
