Abstract
A wireless communication network (12) includes one or more control nodes (10) that recognize redundancies between communication modules (14) and control handover of such modules (14) to enforce connection diversity between them and the network (12). Advantageously, the methods and apparatus shown by way of example in this disclosure enforce connection diversity without the need for statically configured diversity schemes that are complex to plan and difficult to maintain.
