1. A method comprising: determining, by a first access point (AP), scanning parameter values corresponding to a plurality of second access points (APs) based on previously performed Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) scans for the plurality of second APs, wherein the scanning parameter values comprise at least a count of failed FTM scans;
determining, by the first AP, weights corresponding to the plurality of second APs based at least on the count of failed FTM values;
selecting, by the first AP, a first set of target APs from the plurality of second APs based on the weights;
scanning, by the first AP, the first set of target APs for a first FTM scan cycle;
updating, by the first AP, the weights of the plurality of second APs after completion of the first FTM scan cycle to generate updated weights;
selecting, by the first AP, a second set of target APs from the plurality of second APs based on the updated weights, wherein the second set of target APs comprises one or more target APs different from the first set of target APs; and
scanning, by the first AP, the second set of target APs for a second FTM scan cycle.
