Prioritizing afc requests

Abstract

Described herein are devices, systems, methods, and processes for optimizing automatic frequency coordination (AFC) queries based on a location-specific likelihood of success. An intermediate service provides a metric or score to determine whether and how to perform a query to the AFC system for a given location. The AFC query metric provided by the intermediate service can be used to determine whether to perform the AFC query, how to prioritize queries, and/or how to adapt the query rate based on the likelihood of success. The system can learn from previous queries and utilize artificial intelligence or machine learning processes in the generation of the AFC query metric. Other relevant data can also be utilized for the generation of the AFC query metric. The number of AFC queries can be reduced based on the utilization of the AFC query metric. Accordingly, costs associated with the AFC queries can be reduced.
