1. 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.
