1. A core network apparatus comprising
at least one processor, and
at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions, that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the core network apparatus to:
receive data units from at least one network access apparatus,
wherein each data unit is labelled with a respective priority level; and
withhold from transmitting a data unit labelled with a relatively low priority level in accordance with a predetermined schedule,
wherein the predetermined schedule is based on
a slot timing for data arriving at the at least one network access apparatus for communication upstream, and
a predetermined delay time in forwarding the data from the at least one network access apparatus to the core network apparatus.
