1. 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.
