Summary:A method and system for controlling handover of a wireless communication device from a first base station to a second base station. Upon detecting a trigger (such as load) for handing over at least one WCD from the first base station, the first base station or another entity selects at least one of the WCDs served by the first base station based on a determination that the WCD is not configured to support use of a particular communication scheme, such as a particular modulation scheme, that the first base station is configured to support using for air interface communication. Based at least in part on that determination, the first base station then selects the WCD. And the first base station processes handover of the selected WCD from being served by the first base station to being served by the second base station.
