Claim 9:
10. A network device comprising:
a wireless transceiver configured to communicate at least via an Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) modulation scheme; and
one or more processors configured to:
establish a first wireless connection between a first device and the network device in association with a first service set identifier that is intended for use with a first class of users;
communicate, via the wireless transceiver, with the first device over the first wireless connection according to an 802.11ax communication protocol using resource units allocated from a plurality of resource units, wherein the network device communicates over a frequency bandwidth that is divided into a plurality of channels, wherein each channel is divided into a plurality of subchannels, wherein each resource unit corresponds to a sub-channel of one of the channels;
establish a second wireless connection between a second device and the network device in association with a second service set identifier that is intended for use with a second class of users; and
deny full allocation of remaining resource units to the second wireless connection according to the 802.11ax communication protocol by virtue of the first class of users having a higher priority than the second class of users.
