1. A computer-implemented method performed by a first computing system, the computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a plurality of first messages from a plurality of access points (APs), each first message of the plurality of first messages being from a respective AP of the plurality of APs and comprising information regarding a device signal received by the respective AP from a computing device;
selecting, based on an evaluation of each of the plurality of first messages, a first AP of the plurality of APs as a primary reporting AP;
transmitting, to the first AP, a second message comprising an indication that the first AP is the primary reporting AP; and
after transmitting the second message, forwarding the first message received from the first AP to a second computing system.
