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.
