AI summary

An information handling system includes an application processor that executes instructions to determine one or more communication link options and a wireless adapter that communicates with a conditional shared spectrum wireless link option. The application processor determines whether a higher priority user is occupying the conditional shared spectrum wireless link option and determines an optimal wireless link from among the communication link options, including any available conditional shared spectrum wireless link options, and selects a wireless link from among the wireless link options based on a spatial-temporal radio frequency profile that indicates signal quality for wireless links available at the location and a spatial-temporal user profile, including wireless service usage trend data for the location.
