EV-DO: Rev-0 and Rev-A is a unique book designed for CDMA professionals in the Wireless Communications Industry worldwide. It is intended to serve as a reference book for EV-DO Physical Layer. Performance Evaluation and optimization engineers, Network Operation personnel and Cell Techs will greatly benefit from this publication. To enhance comprehension, dozens of original analogies are used throughout the book to convey important concepts in an intuitive and enjoyable manner. Chapter 1 sets the stage for the book with the Evolution of Wireless communications. Chapter 2 summarizes the organization of the 1xEV-DO standard. Chapter 3 compares Rev-0 to Rev-A; outlines their common traits and underscores their differences. Chapters 4, 5 and 6 present a detailed operation of the Forward and Reverse Links. Chapter 7 discusses key operational considerations in EV-DO networks. We close the book with a unique, rich and very informative series of CDMA mini-tutorials in the Glossary section.

About the Author
Dr Ernest SIMO's Biography: Since the mid-80s, Dr SIMO has conducted pioneering efforts in key technologies that are essential components of the Information Superhighway. Specifically, he worked with Hughes Network Systems to develop and implement the first Generation of Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSATs) from 1983 to 1986. From 1984 to 2007, Dr SIMO trained over 20,000 Telecommunications executives, managers and engineers around the World (USA, Canada, China, Hong-Kong, India, Japan, South-Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Viet-Nam, Brazil, Peru, Ghana, Israel, Australia, Argentina, Columbia, Venezuela, Chile, England, Mexico and Ireland). He provided a series of CDMA training sessions to the team that implemented the first commercial CDMA network in the World: Hutchison Telecommunications in Hong-Kong (1994–1996). He also provided training to the Deployment and operations team of the first commercial CDMA network in the United States (Los Angeles and Walnut-Creek-CA 1996–1998). Dr. SIMO was a Finalist to NASA astronauts' selection process in 1994 and 1996. In 1994, His co-finalists included space Heroes Rick Husband and William McCool who were respectively Commander and Pilot of the Space shuttle Columbia which was tragically lost in February 2003.

IPlease buy a better book,
This review is from: EV-DO Rev-0 and Rev-A:: The Physical Layer Explained (Paperback)
Having worked GSM and UMTS physical layer for over 10 years, I wanted to understand the EV-DO's physical layer. The search in Google and Amazon brought up this book and wanted to try it as the title says "guided tour of the physical layer".It is not clear if the author intended to address engineers (as mentioned in the title) OR managers who may be interested in the technology but not interested in the details. Either way the book fails miserably. It does not provide any details on the "why" of any of the decisions made by the standard. While the examples are illustrative and the figures are good and explanatory, the book does not explain how the various options in the configuration can change the examples. The book almost takes a simplistic view of the standard and it does not point out what can change and what can not. The biggest drawback, in my view, is the failure of the book to provide relevant specific references to the 3gPP2 standard. The only specific reference I found in the "Reference" section of the book (C.S0054) does not seem to explain the physical layer in any detail. I can not correlate anything written in the book to this specific standard. The analogies are distracting at the best and misleading at the worst. As for the managers who may want to understand the technology without getting into the details, any number of white papers available is better than this book. The very reason why I picked up this book is to get the details that are missing in the white papers. I'm sure there are better books that is worth your time and money more than this if you really want to understand the physical layer of EV-DO.
