Quality of service preservation in private networks

A method performed by a primary access point device in a private network, the method comprising:

• obtaining a first quality of service (QoS) class identifier (QCI) and a first bitrate based on one or more first stream requests received by the primary access point device or a secondary access point device, the one or more first stream requests corresponding to one or more first streams transmitted using a first communications protocol;
• obtaining a second QCI and a second bitrate based on one or more second stream requests received by the primary access point device or the secondary access point device, the one or more second stream requests corresponding to one or more second streams transmitted using a second communications protocol, the second communications protocol being different from the first communications protocol;
• obtaining a third QCI based on the first QCI and a first QCI margin increment;
• obtaining a third bitrate based on the first bitrate and a first bitrate margin increment;
• obtaining a fourth QCI based on the second QCI and a second QCI margin increment;
• obtaining a fourth bitrate based on the second bitrate and a second bitrate margin increment;
• and
• transmitting the one or more first streams and the one or more second streams using a communication link between the primary access point and the secondary access point device, the communication link being configured based on the third QCI, the third bitrate, the fourth QCI, and the fourth bitrate.
