Abstract

A method and system for queuing traffic in a wireless network includes receiving a stream of packets for transmission in the wireless network. Each packet includes a flow identifier and is assigned to one of the plurality of virtual groups based on the flow identifier. The virtual groups include discrete transmission resources. Each packet is queued in an assigned virtual group for transmission in the wireless network.
