Abstract
A base station, system, method, and computer program product are disclosed for transmitting data packets received by the base station. According to one aspect, the base station includes a first buffer configured to store data packets received by the base station, a second buffer configured to store data packets that are scheduled for transmission by the base station, and a computer processor, operatively coupled to the first buffer and the second buffer. The computer processor is configured to inspect a data packet to determine an application type of the data packet, determine a delay tolerance associated with the data packet based on the determined application type, determine a channel condition of a communication session with the user device, move the data packet from the first buffer to the second buffer based on the determined delay tolerance and the determined channel condition, and transmit data packets stored in the second buffer.
