A method of operating a first network node in a cellular communications network, wherein the first network node is connected to a plurality of first antenna nodes (C1 RRH #N...) that are located along a track and which provide mobile telecommunications service associated with a first cell (C1), wherein one or more of the first antenna nodes (C1 RRH #N...) serve an overlap region of the first cell (C1) that overlaps an overlap region of a second cell (C2) that is associated with a plurality of second antenna nodes (C2 RRH #N...) that are located along the track and that are connected to a second network node , the method comprising: causing the one or more first antenna nodes (C1 RRH #N...) to each form downlink beams in a same direction along the track as one another; controlling transmitter power levels of each of the one or more first antenna nodes (C1 RRH #N...) such that: respective amounts of overlap between the downlink beams and respective power levels of the downlink beams jointly cause the overlap region of the first cell (C1) to emulate a cell border for a user equipment (UE) travelling at or above a known high speed through the overlap region of the first cell (C1), wherein downlink signal power distributed through the emulated cell border is lower at emulated cell border locations closer to an emulated cell outer edge than at emulated cell border locations more distant from the emulated cell outer edge; and the emulated cell border has a length sufficient to cause the user equipment (UE) travelling at the known high speed to be within the emulated cell border for at least a predetermined minimum amount of time necessary to successfully perform a handover from one of the first and second cells (C1) to a different one of the first and second cells (C2). causing the one or more first antenna nodes (C1 RRH #N...) to each form downlink beams in a same direction along the track as one another; controlling transmitter power levels of each of the one or more first antenna nodes (C1 RRH #N...) such that: respective amounts of overlap between the downlink beams and respective power levels of the downlink beams jointly cause the overlap region of the first cell (C1) to emulate a cell border for a user equipment (UE) travelling at or above a known high speed through the overlap region of the first cell (C1), wherein downlink signal power distributed through the emulated cell border is lower at emulated cell border locations closer to an emulated cell outer edge than at emulated cell border locations more distant from the emulated cell outer edge; and the emulated cell border has a length sufficient to cause the user equipment (UE) travelling at the known high speed to be within the emulated cell border for at least a predetermined minimum amount of time necessary to successfully perform a handover from one of the first and second cells (C1) to a different one of the first and second cells (C2). respective amounts of overlap between the downlink beams and respective power levels of the downlink beams jointly cause the overlap region of the first cell (C1) to emulate a cell border for a user equipment (UE) travelling at or above a known high speed through the overlap region of the first cell (C1), wherein downlink signal power distributed through the emulated cell border is lower at emulated cell border locations closer to an emulated cell outer edge than at emulated cell border locations more distant from the emulated cell outer edge; and the emulated cell border has a length sufficient to cause the user equipment (UE) travelling at the known high speed to be within the emulated cell border for at least a predetermined minimum amount of time necessary to successfully perform a handover from one of the first and second cells (C1) to a different one of the first and second cells (C2). <EOS>
