Machine Learning in Downlink Coordinated Multipoint in Heterogeneous   Networks
  We propose a method for downlink coordinated multipoint (DL CoMP) in heterogeneous fifth generation New Radio (NR) networks. The primary contribution of our paper is an algorithm to enhance the trigger of DL CoMP using online machine learning. We use support vector machine (SVM) classifiers to enhance the user downlink throughput in a realistic frequency division duplex network environment. Our simulation results show improvement in both the macro and pico base station downlink throughputs due to the informed triggering of the multiple radio streams as learned by the SVM classifier.
