Textbook in PDF format This book teaches readers how wireless networks work, why some of their properties impact wireless network performance at the application level, and what both network engineers and application developers can do to cope with these challenges. This Second Edition includes key updates on these topics, which have become increasingly important as internet users rely more and more on wireless access links for diverse tasks such as web browsing, video conferencing, interactive games, and data sharing. The author compares and contrasts wireless and wired networks, explaining that users expect high quality performance regardless of how they access the internet, even though wireless networks are much more difficult to build than wired networks. Structured according to the layers in the Internet protocol stack, the book discusses the challenges involved in building wireless networks and the obstacles that can affect their performance in real-world applications. The author also provides strategies for approaching these challenges and obstacles. This Second Edition incorporates new information on several topics, including Wi-Fi and 5G cellular. Wireless networks such as Wi-Fi and cellular have become the preferred method of accessing the Internet. Since no wires are required, wireless networks provide Internet access from virtually anywhere, even while being mobile. However, communication over wireless networks is much more challenging than over a wired network infrastructure. The reason is while the signals in a wired network infrastructure travel through wires that have been carefully engineered to maximize throughput, wireless signals must travel through the physical environment around us, which can impact the wireless transmission in arbitrary ways. Mobility and changes in the environment add additional challenges. The goal of this lecture is to explain how wireless networks differ from wired networks, why and how this impacts their performance, and how we can minimize the impact of wireless networks on application performance. In Chap. 1 of the lecture, we introduce the network protocol stack that supports communication over the Internet. Our main focus is on the bottom two layers in the protocol stack, where there are significant differences between wireless and wired networks. In Chap. 2, we describe the physical layer which supports the transmission of signals that carry Internet traffic across the Internet. Our discussion focuses on how the physical layers differ in wired and wireless network segments, and why communication over wireless network segments is so much more challenging. We also discuss how the wireless physical layer is optimized to reduce the impact of the wireless challenges on performance. In Chap. 3, we describe the two most widely used wireless protocols in the Internet today, Wi-Fi, and cellular. Wi-Fi and cellular support communication in unlicensed and licensed spectrum, respectively. Our discussion focuses not only on how the two protocol families address wireless communication challenges but also how the design of the protocols is impacted by the difference in the type of spectrum that is used. Throughout Chaps. 2 and 3, we will identify properties of wireless networks that can impact the higher layers of the protocol stack, including applications. In the last two chapters of the Lecture, we describe in more detail how wireless impacts IP and TCP (Chap. 4) and applications (Chap. 5). This Lecture does not require the reader to have a background in networking or wireless communication. Each chapter provides the necessary background for the material presented in the chapter
