1. A method for shunting data between first and second cellular networks, the method comprising:

  • generating, by a first base station in the first cellular network, a second quality of service parameter in the second cellular network from a first quality of service parameter in the first network for the data, wherein the second quality of service parameter is applied to the data to be transmitted by the second cellular network when the first cellular network wants to shunt at least part of the data to the second cellular network;

    sending, by the first base station, the second quality of service parameter to a second base station in the second cellular network via a control plane interface between the first and the second base stations,establishing, by the first base station, a tunnel with the second base station, wherein the second quality of service parameter is associated with the tunnel;

    sending, by the first base station, a first part of the data to a user equipment according to the first quality of service parameter; and

    transmitting, by the first base station, a second part of the data to the second base station via the tunnel for the purpose of sending the second part of the data to the user equipment.
