These policies do not include BS cooperation, which results in duplicate content being cached and further wasting limited cache capacity.The SBSs in the CPP-CC policy can exchange information with each other. In particular, the SBSs in the same cluster can share their cached content.

These policies assume that content popularity is static, and therefore they cannot be used for the dynamic cache scenario.CPP-CC policy utilises LSTM neural network to predict the dynamic content popularity.

These policies do not consider user mobility.The MBS should only serve fast-moving users in this work, and the SBS serves slow-moving users.

These policies do not consider the relationship between HetNet layer properties and user mobility.
