A method for a wireless communications between at least a first and a second service user, the method comprising: prioritizing transmission of voice over internet protocol packets for the first and second service users over a shared downlink channel based on a first measured value of a first end-to-end delay that the first service user experiences relative to a second measured value of a second end-to-end delay that the second service user experiences, wherein the first end-to-end delay and the second end-to-end delay are obtained at an internet protocol header compressor that compresses the voice over internet protocol packets, and wherein the measurements are obtained based on headers attached to the voice over internet protocol packets by the compressor, wherein the first service user is a mobile-to-mobile user and the second service user is a mobile-to-land user, and wherein prioritizing transmission of voice over internet protocol packets comprises de-prioritizing the mobile-to-land user relative to the mobile-to-mobile user.
