A method of operation at a control node configured for operation in a wireless communication network comprising: identifying redundancies between communication modules that wirelessly connect to the network , wherein a given communication module is considered to be redundant with respect to another given communication module when both given communication modules are identified as being affiliated with a same remote device ; and controlling handover of communication modules to avoid having communication modules that are redundant with respect to each other connected to a same access point in the network , including at least one of: initiating a handover of one communication module in a given pair of communication modules , both connected to a given access point , from the given access point to another given access point , in response to determining that the given pair of communication modules are redundant with respect to each other; and selecting a given access point as a handover target for a given communication module , based on determining that the given access point is a candidate for serving the given communication module and further based on determining that the given access point is not already serving another given communication module that is redundant with respect to the given communication module . identifying redundancies between communication modules that wirelessly connect to the network , wherein a given communication module is considered to be redundant with respect to another given communication module when both given communication modules are identified as being affiliated with a same remote device ; and controlling handover of communication modules to avoid having communication modules that are redundant with respect to each other connected to a same access point in the network , including at least one of: initiating a handover of one communication module in a given pair of communication modules , both connected to a given access point , from the given access point to another given access point , in response to determining that the given pair of communication modules are redundant with respect to each other; and selecting a given access point as a handover target for a given communication module , based on determining that the given access point is a candidate for serving the given communication module and further based on determining that the given access point is not already serving another given communication module that is redundant with respect to the given communication module . initiating a handover of one communication module in a given pair of communication modules , both connected to a given access point , from the given access point to another given access point , in response to determining that the given pair of communication modules are redundant with respect to each other; and selecting a given access point as a handover target for a given communication module , based on determining that the given access point is a candidate for serving the given communication module and further based on determining that the given access point is not already serving another given communication module that is redundant with respect to the given communication module . <EOS>
