Claim:
1. A method comprising: receiving in a radio access network a request to transmit a message from a first device through a cellular network to a second device, the request including a machine identity for the first device and not including any QoS parameters; submitting a query to a database in a core network that correlates the machine identity with an associated QoS parameter; determining the associated QoS parameter associated with the first device based on the machine identity; assigning an assigned priority to the message, the assigned priority selected from at least a high priority and a low priority based on the associated QoS parameter; and assigning the message, based on the assigned priority to one of a first input queue or a second input queue located in the radio access network wherein the first input queue is associated with the low priority and a long delay and the second input queue is associated with the high priority and a short delay; transmitting messages in the second input queue on a first come first served basis; and transmitting messages in the first input queue on a first come first served basis; after the messages in the second input queue have been transmitted.
