wws, if you are using RF module alone, it will transmit logic of 1 pin only and of course at the receiver, it will receive the logic of 1 bit too.
If you are using RF module + Decoder and Encoder such as PT2262 and PT2272, it can provide 4 bit parallel input (at transmitter) and output(receiver).
Alternatively, you can use what is being done in Cytron DIY project, PR16:
