Abstract
A method for consistent forwarding of data is provided. The method includes storing a plurality of correlations between a set of wireline communication priority levels and a set of wireless communication priority levels. The method further includes receiving data from an application via a wireline communications network. The data is received according to a wireline communication priority level assigned to the data from the set of wireline communication priority levels. The method further includes determining from the set of wireless communication priority levels a wireless communication priority level for the data based at least in part on the wireline communication priority level associated with the data and one or more of the plurality of correlations. The method further includes transmitting the data to a mobile station according to the wireless communication priority level determined for the data.
