Embodiments provide systems and methods for enabling a wireless multi-access communication system having a first frequency band and a second frequency band. The first frequency band can be used to establish a first channel using a non-Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (M-MIMO) radio access technology (RAT). The first channel can be used to broadcast downlink/uplink control information (and, optionally, data) between an access point (AP) and a user device. The second frequency band can be used to establish a second channel using a M-MIMO RAT. The second channel can be used to communicate high speed downlink/uplink data between an AP and a user device. The non-M-MIMO RAT and the M-MIMO RAT can be of the same RAT family or of different RAT families.
