Abstract
A method and apparatus for determining the order of transmission of packets of information in a communication system includes a priority assignment processor (330) which receives transmission delay information from a delay analyzer (315) and soft handoff state information from a control processor (320). This information is used to determine a priority level for packets of information. The priority level is used by a network arbiter (350) to determine when the associated packet should be transferred relative to other packets of information.
