Genetic Approach for Joint Transmission Grouping in Next-Generation Cellular Networks.

Coordinated multipoint joint transmission (JT) is one of the critical downlink transmission technologies to improve network throughput. However, multiple cells in a JT group should have the same user data to transmit simultaneously, resulting in a considerable backhaul burden. Even when cells are already equipped with caches in fifth-generation networks, JT groups, without effectively utilizing the caching data, still cause unnecessary backhaul data traffic.
