A method, comprising: establishing a first backhaul bearer at a base station (203, 301, 500) with a first core network (206, 608), the first backhaul bearer established by a backhaul user equipment, UE, at the base station over an existing operator LTE network, the first backhaul bearer having a single priority parameter, the first backhaul bearer terminating at a first packet data network gateway (206a, 305) in the first core network, the first backhaul bearer for carrying data from a plurality of UEs (201, 202) attached at the base station to the first core network, wherein the first backhaul bearer is a dedicated bearer and the single priority parameter is a first quality of service class indicator, QCI, parameter; establishing a second backhaul bearer over the existing operator LTE network at the base station (203, 301, 500) having a second QCI parameter, wherein the first backhaul bearer is a dedicated bearer to be used for prioritized traffic, and the second backhaul bearer is a default bearer to be used for non-prioritized traffic; establishing an encrypted internet protocol, IP, tunnel between the base station and a coordinating gateway (306, 308, 400) in communication with the first core network and a second core network; establishing, by the backhaul UE at the base station, for at least one UE (201, 202) attached at the base station, a plurality of UE data bearers encapsulated in the secure IP tunnel, the plurality of UE data bearers terminating at a second packet data network gateway in the second core network, each of the UE data bearers having a first QCI for prioritized traffic control at the second core network; transmitting prioritized data of the plurality of UE data bearers via the first backhaul bearer and the coordinating gateway to the second core network; receiving, at the coordinating gateway, a downlink IP flow from the second packet data network gateway, PGW; identifying, at the coordinating gateway, a filter template to the downlink IP flow based on a parameter; and applying, at the coordinating gateway, the filter template to the downlink IP flow to cause the downlink IP flow to be mapped to one of the plurality of UE data bearers as a selected UE data bearer with the first or second QCI, wherein the source IP address or source IP port of the IP flow is configured to cause the coordinating gateway to select a particular filter template appropriate to a type of traffic of the downlink IP flow. establishing a first backhaul bearer at a base station (203, 301, 500) with a first core network (206, 608), the first backhaul bearer established by a backhaul user equipment, UE, at the base station over an existing operator LTE network, the first backhaul bearer having a single priority parameter, the first backhaul bearer terminating at a first packet data network gateway (206a, 305) in the first core network, the first backhaul bearer for carrying data from a plurality of UEs (201, 202) attached at the base station to the first core network, wherein the first backhaul bearer is a dedicated bearer and the single priority parameter is a first quality of service class indicator, QCI, parameter;
