Product Description

Product Description
Covering system architecture, implementation and testing, this work is written by authors who are widely experienced with cellular radio in general and with GSM in particular. It provides a structured overview to help make sense of the GSM specifications and surveys competing cellular systems such as NADC and CDMA. Practical testing applications are explored in depth and compared with similar techniques used with analogue cellular systems.

2.0 out of 5 stars A poorly written book, 23 April 1999

By A Customer

Although this book gives the reader much useful information on GSM, the style is poor and and needs editing by Artech House. when I first read the book I got out my marker pen and delated large sections of useless text. The explanation of Channel Coding and Signalling, 5.14.4, started by saying 'The passengers (user data) in an airplane may have all paid full fare, the plane may be safe, and the accomodations exceptional, but nobody is going anywhere without the a pilot and crew (signalling data). The book is still in my bookshelf as it is a handy reference manual on GSM, but I am sure there are better books on GSM out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Introduction To GSM, 20 Jan 2009

By	Seb J (UK) - See all my reviews

An excellent introduction to the GSM network.

Provides a thorough overview of the GSM network and its beginnings with some good detail about the exchanged data & methods of communication between the networks components.

Not a complete "one stop" guide, but exactly what it sets out to be: a good introduction with references throughout for further reading and, as other reviewers have said, a really good reference book for when the reader is done.

Highly recommended for novices and new engineers.

4.0 out of 5 stars a good book for beginners and field engineers alike, 25 Feb 2000

By A Customer

I think this book is really a must read for anyone who starts looking into the GSM architecture or who needs a quick reference. The various facets of layers 1 to 3 are explained in plain English and are cleverly visualised throughout the text using a descriptive image of a freight train to show a parallel on how information is transported in the GSM system. It provides a good introduction on what the layers are all about and how they relate to each other. I would definitely recommend it.
