1. An access point comprising:
a network communication device; and
a processor in communication with the network communication device, wherein computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the access point to:
request an uplink pilot signal from a first station;
obtain a first uplink pilot signal and a second uplink pilot signal transmitted by the first station;
determine a candidate set of downlink beams to serve the first station using data derived from the first uplink pilot signal and the second uplink pilot signal;
transmit the determined candidate set of downlink beams to an access point controller;
obtain a selected set of downlink beams from the access point controller; and
determine a transmission rate for the first station and the selected set of downlink beams.
