In short, UE will be having connection with two different eNodeB/sites in the same coverage area. This is advanced version of Carrier Aggregation in which two different sites serves the UE and provide higher throughput. Data packets will be splitted at PDCP layer and will be transmitted to UE using lower layers such ash RLC, MAC of Master and Secondary eNodeBs.
It's kind of LTE-Wifi AP aggregation concept.
