A cellular communications network comprises a plurality of geographically distributed access nodes arranged for communication with a mobile terminal. Where the mobile terminal comprises a plurality of jointly-operated communications systems, the mobile terminal and/or an access node or nodes are configured for communication with each other using a respective wireless link, so as to control an aggregate data rate across the plurality of wireless links. If a single access node services a first and second communications system, a location for the communications systems at a predetermined time is determined and respective transmission parameters for the first and second wireless links are jointly determined and assigned on the basis of the combined data rate over the first and second wireless links and the predicted location. |
