The eNB 414 may receive the SR from the UE 402 in the first network. The eNB 414 may determine that the SR is not for an uplink grant in the first network and/or not for the eNB 414. Accordingly, the eNB 414 may provide information 422 associated with the SR for the UE 402 to the mmW base station 404. In one aspect, the eNB 414 may provide the information 422 associated with the SR to the mmW base station 404 in the first network. In another aspect, the eNB 414 may provide the information 422 associated with the SR to the mmW base station 404 in the second network. In another aspect, the eNB 414 may provide the information 422 associated with the SR to the mmW base station 404 over a different network, such as a wireline or backhaul network. In one aspect, the eNB 414 and the mmW base station 404 are collocated and, therefore, the information 422 associated with the SR may be provided to the mmW base station 404 via internal circuitry.

In response to the information 422, the mmW base station 404 may allocate or schedule resources for the UE 402 in the second network. The mmW base station 404 may generate a message indicating the uplink grant. The mmW base station 404 may transmit, in the second network, the uplink grant 424 to the UE 402 based on the SR information 422.

In an alternative aspect, the mmW base station 404 may provide the uplink grant 424 to the eNB 414 (e.g., in the first network or the second network). The eNB 414 may then transmit the uplink grant 424 to the UE 402 in the first network.
