Methods and apparatus for tunneling packets between remote and serving Access points for delivery to an access terminal (AT) are described. Methods and apparatus for communicating control values and/or information in addition to information to be delivered to an AT over an airlink are also described. An AT uses the received control information to recover communicated packets. Some features support the use of various headers and/or indicators in the headers, e.g., RLP and/or Packet Correlation Protocol (PCP) headers, which may be used to control routing of communicated payloads to an RLP processing module corresponding to an AP which was the source of the communicated payload.
