LTE Vs. Wi-Fi

• LTE Vs. Wi-Fi

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project Long-Term Evolution technology, or LTE, is a 4G wireless network technology. LTE is built on the High-Speed Downlink Packet Access 3G network protocol, and offers high-speed wireless cellular network connectivity through mobile computing devices. Wi-Fi is a wireless technology that enables several types of computing devices, including personal computers and mobile phones, to connect to a wireless network through a router.

• We presented a measurement study of single-path TCP and MPTCPover LTE and WiFi networks. For single-path TCP, we found that LTE outperforms WiFi 40% of the time – a higher fraction than one might expect at first sight. We also find that MPTCP offers no appreciable benefit over TCP for shorter flows, but it does improve performance for longer flows. For MPTCP, we found that, especially for short flows, it is crucial to select the correct network for the primary subflow.
