1. An access point controller configured to recommend a target access point to a wireless device, the target access point being one of a plurality of access points sufficient to facilitate wireless signaling with the wireless device, the controller configured to:
receive geolocation information from the device; generate a velocity vector to represent movement of the device; identify access points within a vicinity of the device; recommend the access point within the vicinity having a smallest angle to the device, the smallest angle being defined relative to the velocity vector; identify when at least two access points within the vicinity each have an approximately equal angle to the device that is approximately equal to the smallest angle; and recommend the one of the at least two access points having a smallest magnitude to the device as the target access point.
