At the time of writing the book, the author was referencing state of the art papers for the chapter on mobile networks. Especially the work of Morley Mao from U Michigan, who was the first to study commercial deployments of LTE and how applications where using mobile networks. It was probably the most thorough and approachable introduction to mobile broadband at the time. But in 10 years a lot have changed. Most notably 5G. It would be interesting to update the book with the more recent papers of the same group studying commercial 5G deployments. I would also remove anything that has to do with 3G. The state machine of 3G is very different to 4G/5G, so optimising for this might be a bad choice. Finally, I would discuss more recent transport layer protocols, such as QUIC and congestion control algorithms such as BBR. Early experiments on commercial 5G networks show that legacy congestion control algorithms are not able to take advantage of the very high speeds that 5G can offer. I would also add some sections about "5G stand alone" usecases, such as massive IoT and ultra reliable low latency communication.
