Abstract

A remote device having the ability to transmit data across a plurality of wireless channels selects the transmission channel for transmitting the data message. The remote device prioritizes the data message based on an examination of the data message relative to predetermined priority settings. Based on this prioritization and in relation to a transmission prediction term, the remote device assigns the data message to a message queue associated with the selected transmission channel. When the remote device enters the transmission range of the selected channel, the data message may thereupon be wirelessly transmitted.
