Abstract
A device includes a memory and a hardware processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The hardware processor determines that a computing device communicatively coupled to an access point performed an action with respect to the access point and in response to determining that the action causes a deviation from a multi-user uplink policy of the access point, transmits a disciplinary message to the computing device.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
- schedule, for a computing device communicatively coupled to an access point and according to a multi-user uplink policy implemented by the access point, a transmission of a message;
- determine that the computing device transmitted the message out-of-turn using a single user mode rather than transmitting the message according to the multi-user uplink policy;
- and
- in response to determining that the computing device transmitted the message out-of-turn using the single user mode, transmit a disciplinary message to the computing device, wherein the disciplinary message comprises one of (i) a first recommendation that the computing device communicates over a different band of the access point, (ii) a second recommendation that the computing device connects to a different access point, or (iii) a warning that communications from the computing device will be rate limited.

A method comprising:
- scheduling, for a computing device communicatively coupled to an access point and according to a multi-user uplink policy implemented by the access point, a transmission of a message;
- determining that the computing device transmitted the message out-of-turn using a single user mode rather than transmitting the message according to the multi-user uplink policy;
- and
- in response to determining that the computing device transmitted the message out-of-turn using the single user mode, transmitting a disciplinary message to the computing device, wherein the disciplinary message comprises one of (i) a first recommendation that the computing device communicates over a different band of the access point, (ii) a second recommendation that the computing device connects to a different access point, or (iii) a warning that communications from the computing device will be rate limited.

An apparatus comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
- transmit, to an access point while connected to the access point, a message out-of-turn using a single user mode rather than transmitting the message according to a multi-user uplink policy implemented by the access point, wherein the message is scheduled according to the multi-user uplink policy;
- receive, from the access point, a disciplinary message indicating that the message was transmitted out-of-turn using the single user mode, wherein the disciplinary message comprises one of (i) a first recommendation that the apparatus communicates over a different band of the access point, (ii) a second recommendation that the apparatus connects to a different access point, or (iii) a warning that communications from the apparatus will be rate limited;
- communicate the disciplinary message to an entity;
- and
- receive, from the entity, an instruction regarding the access point.
