A cellular communications network comprises a plurality of geographically distributed access nodes arranged for communication with mobile terminals. A location prediction engine predicts a location for a first mobile terminal at a predetermined time and a configuration output configures two or more of the plurality of access nodes for coordinated communication with the first mobile terminal at the predetermined time, based on the predicted location for the first mobile terminal.
