1. A method of a network entity of a first network cell providing network access to a terminal, the method comprising:
obtaining information indicative of a terminal mobility profile of said terminal,
predicting, utilizing a trained neural network, for each cell configuration of a plurality of cell configurations related to mobility and throughput balance,
a predicted throughput optimization degree of the cell configuration for said terminal mobility profile,
the predicting resulting to a plurality of predicted throughput optimization degrees for said terminal mobility profile,
wherein each of said plurality of cell configurations includes at least a number of reserved reference signal cell resources for channel estimation,
selecting, from said plurality of cell configurations, based on corresponding predicted throughput optimization degrees, a cell configuration having a highest predicted throughput optimization degree for the terminal mobility profile, when a particular number of the reserved reference signal cell resources are used for the channel estimation, and
deciding, based on said highest predicted throughput optimization degree of the cell configuration selected for the terminal mobility profile, whether to trigger a handover of said terminal from said first network cell to a second network cell.
