The method also includes calculating at a current scheduling time t at least one value of a scheduling priority SchedP(i,t) where scheduling priority SchedP(i,t) is a function of the value (i) indicating the priority of the incoming packet and the delay tof the incoming packet. The further includes scheduling the packets buffered in the priority queues according to the values of the scheduling priority SchedP(i,t), and repeating the method every transmission time interval.
