An Introduction to GSM (Artech House Mobile Communication Series)

Detailed yet thoroughly understandable to moderately technical reader. Book purchased as used in good condition; actual condition excellent.

This book is great for technicial individuals who are new to cellular technologies. The authors do a good job of covering all of the layers in the GSM system. Some of the topics could have been rearanged a bit to give the book a more logical flow. Likewise, some of the diagrams could have been rearanged to keep the reader from having to turn multiple pages. Overall, this is a good book for beginers.

This book gives a detailed information about GSM. I can recommend this book for beginners.

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.

An Introduction to Gsm (The Artech House Mobile Communications) The order was processed quickly and I was notified of its condition before shipment. It met my expectations.

This book is a good entrance to the GSM world and can still serve as a quick handbook for GSM.But the main problem is with the additional unnecessary text that some times can distract the reader away from the technical point being explained.

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.

GSMのRFの分野について詳しく書かれています。GSMのRFに興味のある学生の方、或いは企業の若い技術者が、初めてGSMを学ぶものとしては、とてもよい本だと思います。　ただし、RF以外のところはsurveyとしてしか書かれていません。また、全体的に内容が若干古い感は否めないです。
