This paper presents a comparative performance study of a wide selection of optimization techniques to enhance application performance in the context of Wide-Area Wireless Networks (WWANs). Unlike in traditional wired and wireless IP-based networks, applications running over WWAN cellular environments are significantly affected by the vagaries of the cellular wireless medium. Prior research has proposed and analyzed optimizations at individual layers of the protocol stack. In contrast, the paper introduces the first detailed experiment-based evaluation and comparison of all such optimization techniques in a commercial WWAN testbed and summarizes the experience in implementing and deploying an infrastructure to improve WWAN performance.
