Abstract
In this paper we study the main performance problems experienced by Web applications in Cellular Wireless networks. To this extend we identify the particular problems at each protocol layer (transport, session and application layer). We present our practical experience results, and investigate how a Wireless Performance Enhancing Proxy can improve the performance over these networks.
