Downlink data prioritization for time-sensitive applications

A wireless device, comprising:

• a first processor configured with processor-executable instructions to:
• receive an Internet Protocol (IP) packet of a downlink (DL) data stream after layer 2 (L2) processing on the wireless device, wherein the DL data stream is a provided to the wireless device via a connection to a radio access network (RAN) and the IP packet is at least in part decoded from a wireless transmission of the RAN via the L2 processing on the wireless device;
• determine whether the IP packet is a prioritized packet after the L2 processing on the wireless device;
• send the IP packet to a second processor of the wireless device using a prioritized traffic handling configuration in response to determining that the IP packet is a prioritized packet, wherein the prioritized traffic handling configuration is configured to have a lower latency than a default traffic handling configuration used for sending non-prioritized IP packets from the first processor to a third processor of the wireless device and wherein the default traffic handling configuration applies a packet aggregation to non-prioritized IP packets after L2 processing and the prioritized traffic handling configuration sends the IP packet to the second processor without any aggregation;
• receive a second IP packet of an uplink (UL) data stream from the second processor of the wireless device;
• determine whether the second IP packet is a prioritized packet;
• and
• send the second IP packet to the RAN using an UL prioritized traffic handling configuration in response to determining that the second IP packet is a prioritized packet, wherein the UL prioritized traffic handling configuration is configured to have a lower latency than a default UL traffic handling configuration used for sending non-prioritized IP packets.

A non-transitory processor readable medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions configured to cause a first processor of a wireless device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving an Internet Protocol (IP) packet of a downlink (DL) data stream after layer 2 (L2) processing on the wireless device, wherein the DL data stream is a provided to the wireless device via a connection to a radio access network (RAN) and the IP packet is at least in part decoded from a wireless transmission of the RAN via the L2 processing on the wireless device;
• determining whether the IP packet is a prioritized packet after the L2 processing on the wireless device;
• sending the IP packet to a second processor of the wireless device using a prioritized traffic handling configuration in response to determining that the IP packet is a prioritized packet, wherein the prioritized traffic handling configuration is configured to have a lower latency than a default traffic handling configuration used for sending non-prioritized IP packets from the first processor to a third processor of the wireless device and wherein the default traffic handling configuration applies a packet aggregation to non-prioritized IP packets after L2 processing and the prioritized traffic handling configuration sends the IP packet to the second processor without any aggregation;
• receiving a second IP packet of an uplink (UL) data stream from the second processor of the wireless device;
• determining whether the second IP packet is a prioritized packet;
• and
• sending the second IP packet to the RAN using an UL prioritized traffic handling configuration in response to determining that the second IP packet is a prioritized packet, wherein the UL prioritized traffic handling configuration is configured to have a lower latency than a default UL traffic handling configuration used for sending non-prioritized IP packets.

A wireless device, comprising:

• means for receiving an Internet Protocol (IP) packet of a downlink (DL) data stream after layer 2 (L2) processing on the wireless device by a first processor, wherein the DL data stream is a provided to the wireless device via a connection to a radio access network (RAN) and the IP packet is at least in part decoded from a wireless transmission of the RAN via the L2 processing on the wireless device;
• means for determining whether the IP packet is a prioritized packet after the L2 processing on the wireless device;
• means for sending the IP packet to a second processor of the wireless device using a prioritized traffic handling configuration in response to determining that the IP packet is a prioritized packet, wherein the prioritized traffic handling configuration is configured to have a lower latency than a default traffic handling configuration used for sending non-prioritized IP packets from the first processor to a third processor of the wireless device and wherein the default traffic handling configuration applies a packet aggregation to non-prioritized IP packets after L2 processing and the prioritized traffic handling configuration sends the IP packet to the second processor without any aggregation;
