Abstract
Network side beacon reports (NSBRs) may be generated based on probe signals received from one or more client devices (CDs) in a wireless network. Once enabled, an NSBR mode is configured to generate NSBRs remotely from a CD. When in the NSBR mode, an NSBR may be generated based on compiled probe signal parameters associated with one or more probe signals received from the CD.
Claims17
A system comprising:
- a processing unit;
- and
- memory storage that includes instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, causes the processing unit to:
- enable a Network Side Beacon Report (NSBR) mode to generate beacon reports remotely from a Client Device (CD);
- transmit a signal to the CD that includes a trigger for the CD to initiate a roaming scan according to the NSBR;
- when in the NSBR mode:
- compile probe signal parameters associated with one or more probe signals received at one or more Access Points (APs) from the CD;
- and
- generate an NSBR for the CD based on the probe signal parameters associated with the one or more probe signals received from the CD;
- determine an Uplink (UL) Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) based on the probe signal parameters;
- estimate a Downlink (DL) RSSI for the CD based on the UL RSSI;
- and
- include the DL RSSI in the NSBR.

A method comprising:
- enabling a Network Side Beacon Report (NSBR) mode to generate beacon reports remotely from a Client Device (CD);
- when in the NSBR mode:
- compiling probe signal parameters associated with one or more probe signals received at one or more Access Points (APs) from the CD;
- and
- generating an NSBR for the CD based on the probe signal parameters associated with the one or more probe signals received from the CD;
- and
- sharing at least one or more parameters of the NSBR with the one or more APs.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a set of instructions which when executed perform a method executed by the set of instructions comprising:
- enabling a Network Side Beacon Report (NSBR) mode to generate beacon reports remotely from a Client Device (CD);
- when in the NSBR mode:
- compiling probe signal parameters associated with one or more probe signals received at one or more Access Points (APs) from the CD;
- and
- generating an NSBR for the CD based on the probe signal parameters associated with the one or more probe signals received from the CD;
- and
- synchronizing the one or more APs to report information received from the CD.
