Target access point recommendation

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a plurality of non-transitory instructions executable with a processor for generating a target access point recommendation for a device, the target access point recommendation identifying one or more target access points for the device to wirelessly connect with following disconnection from a current access point, the non-transitory instructions being sufficient for:

• determining geolocation information for the device;
• determining a travel direction for the device from the geolocation information;
• determining a plurality of access points capable of facilitating cellular and/or Wi-Fi signaling with the device, including determining:
• i) a first access point of the plurality of access points to have a first angle relative to the travel direction;
• ii) a second access point of the plurality of access points to have a second angle relative to the travel direction, the second angle being greater than the first angle;
• iii) a third access point of the plurality of access points to have a third angle relative to the travel direction, the third angle being greater than the second angle, the third access point being physically closer to the device than at least one of the first access point and the second access point;
• and
• identifying the first access point and the second access point within the target access point recommendation as the one or more target access points, including instructing the device to facilitate cellular signaling with the first access point and Wi-Fi signaling with the second access point.

A wireless communication system comprising:

• a plurality of wireless access points geographically spaced and configured to facilitate wireless signaling with a wireless device;
• an access point controller configured to recommend a target access point to the wireless device, the target access point being one of the plurality of wireless access points for the wireless device to connect with following disconnection from a current access point;
• and
• wherein the access point controller is configured to:
• i) determine a speed and a direction of movement for the wireless device;
• ii) determine each of the plurality of wireless access points within a vicinity of the device as a function of the speed;
• and
• iii) determine a first access point within the vicinity of the device to have a first angle relative to the direction of movement;
• and
• iv) determine a second access point within the vicinity of the device to have a second angle relative to the direction of movement, the second access point being physically closer to the device than the first access point and the second angle being greater than the first angle;
• and
• v) recommend the first access point as the target access point to the wireless device.
