Abstract

A system includes a processor configured to receive a data transfer request including a priority designation. The processor is also configured to determine whether a wireless connection, having a predefined characteristic associated with the priority designation, is available. The processor is further configured to handle the request using the connection, if available and queue the request for later handling if the connection is not available.
