PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently transporting synchronous connections on variable-rate communication links. SOLUTION: A method for communication includes: accepting input data from two or more data sources, one or more of which include continuous synchronous tributaries, for transmission over a wireless communication link having a variable data rate; assigning respective relative priorities to the data sources; determining a currently-available data rate of the communication link; multiplexing the input data accepted from the data sources to produce a composite data stream; selectively omitting the input data of at least one of the tributaries from the composite data stream based on the respective relative priorities, in order to match the data rate of the composite data stream to the currently-available data rate of the communication link; and transmitting the composite data over the communication link.
