Abstract
A wireless access node to manage machine-to-machine data transmissions comprises a processing system, a wireless communication transceiver, and a communication transceiver. The processing system is configured to allocate a plurality of machine-to-machine channels reserved for machine-to-machine communications, and assign individual quality of service levels to individual ones of the machine-to-machine channels per sector. The wireless communication transceiver is configured to receive machine-to-machine traffic on one of the machine-to-machine channels. The processing system is configured to determine a quality of service level for the machine-to-machine traffic based on the sector and the machine-to-machine channel over which the machine-to-machine traffic was received. The communication transceiver is configured to transfer the machine-to-machine traffic for delivery to a machine-to-machine server based on the quality of service level for the machine-to-machine traffic.
